NETBible

Then they secretly instigated¹ some men to say, “We have heard this man² speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.”

NET Notes

¹tn Another translation would be “they suborned” (but this term is not in common usage). “Instigate (secretly), suborn” is given by BDAG 1036 s.v. ὑποβάλλω.

²tn Grk “heard him”; but since this is direct discourse, it is more natural (and clearer) to specify the referent (Stephen) as “this man.”
