In Acts 28:6, the present passive infinitive πίμπρασθαι is part of what observers expected to happen; the APB renders the clause "They were expecting him to swell up," before reporting that they observed nothing unusual.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 28:6, the APB presents the expected outcome as "to swell up." This wording confirms the clause's overall expectation rather than supplying a separate lexical distinction.
