Acts 10:20

10:20 But get up, ¹  go down, and accompany them without hesitation, ²  because I have sent them.”

Acts 20:20

20:20 You know that I did not hold back from proclaiming ³  to you anything that would be helpful, ⁴  and from teaching you publicly ⁵  and from house to house,

[10:20]  ¹ tn Grk “But getting up, go down.” The participle ἀναστάς (anastas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[10:20]  ² tn The term means “without doubting” or “without deliberation.” It is a term of conscience and discernment. In effect, Peter is to listen to them rather than hesitate (BDAG 231 s.v. διακρίνω 6).

[20:20]  ³ tn Or “declaring.”

[20:20]  ⁴ tn Or “profitable.” BDAG 960 s.v. συμφέρω 2.b.α has “τὰ συμφέροντα what advances your best interests or what is good for you Ac 20:20,” but the broader meaning (s.v. 2, “to be advantageous, help, confer a benefit, be profitable/useful”) is equally possible in this context.

[20:20]  ⁵ tn Or “openly.”
