Exegesis

The infinitive kollasthai {κολλᾶσθαι | kol-lâs-thai} “to join, to associate closely” depends on etolma as its complement, with autois {αὐτοῖς | au-toîs} “to them” marking the apostles as the group from whom others held back.

In contextActs 5:13

Yet none of the rest dared to join them, but the people held them in high regard .
