Exegesis
The word order emegalynen autous ho laos {ἐμεγάλυνεν αὐτοὺς ὁ λαός | e-me-gá-ly-nen au-toús ho la-ós} places the pronoun autous before the subject ho laos, emphasizing “them” (the apostles) as the focus of the people’s esteem. In translation, the durative force of the imperfects is conveyed with phrases like “held them in high regard” and “admired them greatly,” and the contrast between social distance and public honor is preserved with “none of the rest dared to join” versus “the people held them in high regard.”
In context — Acts 5:13
Yet none of the rest dared to join them, but the people held them in high regard .
