Acts 4:3

4:3 So ¹  they seized ²  them and put them in jail ³  until the next day (for it was already evening).

Acts 4:5

4:5 On the next day, ⁴  their rulers, elders, and experts in the law ⁵  came together ⁶  in Jerusalem. ⁷ 

Acts 25:22

25:22 Agrippa ⁸  said to Festus, ⁹  “I would also like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he replied, ¹⁰  “you will hear him.”

¹ tn Grk “And” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the logical sequence of events.

² tn Or “they arrested”; Grk “they laid hands on.”

³ tn Or “prison,” “custody.”

⁴ tn Grk “It happened that on the next day.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

⁵ tn Or “and scribes.” The traditional rendering of γραμματεύς (grammateu") as “scribe” does not communicate much to the modern English reader, for whom the term might mean “professional copyist,” if it means anything at all. The people referred to here were recognized experts in the law of Moses and in traditional laws and regulations. Thus “expert in the law” comes closer to the meaning for the modern reader.

⁶ tn Or “law assembled,” “law met together.”
