Acts 10:44

The Gentiles Receive the Holy Spirit

10:44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on ¹  all those who heard the message. ² 

Acts 14:9

14:9 This man was listening to Paul as he was speaking. When Paul ³  stared ⁴  intently at him and saw he had faith to be healed,

Acts 22:9

22:9 Those who were with me saw the light, but did not understand ⁵  the voice of the one who was speaking to me.

[10:44]  ¹ tn Or “came down on.” God now acted to confirm the point of Peter’s speech.

[10:44]  ² tn Or “word.”

[14:9]  ³ tn Grk “speaking, who.” The relative pronoun has been replaced by the noun “Paul,” and a new sentence begun in the translation because an English relative clause would be very awkward here.

[14:9]  ⁴ tn Or “looked.”

[22:9]  ⁵ tn Grk “did not hear” (but see Acts 9:7). BDAG 38 s.v. ἀκούω 7 has “W. acc. τὸν νόμον understand the law Gal 4:21; perh. Ac 22:9; 26:14…belong here.” If the word has this sense here, then a metonymy is present, since the lack of effect is put for a failure to appreciate what was heard.
