Genesis 3:7

3:7 Then the eyes of both of them opened, and they knew they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

Genesis 3:10

3:10 The man replied, ¹  “I heard you moving about ²  in the orchard, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.”

Matthew 6:23

6:23 But if your eye is diseased, ³  your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

Acts 26:18

26:18 to open their eyes so that they turn ⁴  from darkness to light and from the power ⁵  of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a share ⁶  among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

¹ tn Heb “and he said.”

² tn Heb “your sound.” If one sees a storm theophany here (see the note on the word “time” in v. 8), then one could translate, “your powerful voice.”

³ tn Or “if your eye is sick” (L&N 23.149).

⁴ sn To open their eyes so that they turn… Here is Luke’s most comprehensive report of Paul’s divine calling. His role was to call humanity to change their position before God and experience God’s forgiveness as a part of God’s family. The image of turning is a key one in the NT: Luke 1:79; Rom 2:19; 13:12; 2 Cor 4:6; 6:14; Eph 5:8; Col 1:12; 1 Thess 5:5. See also Luke 1:77-79; 3:3; 24:47.

⁵ tn BDAG 352-53 s.v. ἐξουσία 2 states, “Also of Satan’s power Ac 26:18.” It is also possible to translate this “the domain of Satan” (cf. BDAG 353 s.v. 6)

⁶ tn Or “and an inheritance.”
