The Greek in Acts 14:14 that is translated as “tore their clothes” in English is translated as “showed their distress” in Xicotepec De Juárez Totonac, as “tore their own clothing to show how sad they were” in Sierra de Juárez Zapotec, and as “tore their shirts” (said thus to avoid the idea of showing nakedness) in Garifuna.
