Acts 13:14

13:14 Moving on from ¹  Perga, ²  they arrived at Pisidian Antioch, ³  and on the Sabbath day they went into ⁴  the synagogue ⁵  and sat down.

Acts 18:15

18:15 but since it concerns points of disagreement ⁶  about words and names and your own law, settle ⁷  it yourselves. I will not be ⁸  a judge of these things!”

Acts 22:19

22:19 I replied, ⁹  ‘Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat those in the various synagogues ¹⁰  who believed in you.

Acts 24:15

24:15 I have ¹¹  a hope in God (a hope ¹²  that ¹³  these men ¹⁴  themselves accept too) that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. ¹⁵ 

[13:14]  ¹ tn Or “Passing by.”

[13:14]  ² sn Perga was a city in Pamphylia near the southern coast of Asia Minor.

[13:14]  ³ tn Or “at Antioch in Pisidia.”

[13:14]  ⁴ tn Grk “going into the synagogue they sat down.” The participle εἰσελθόντες (eiselqonte") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[13:14]  ⁵ sn See the note on synagogue in 6:9.

[18:15]  ⁶ tn Or “dispute.”

[18:15]  ⁷ tn Grk “see to it” (an idiom).

[18:15]  ⁸ tn Or “I am not willing to be.” Gallio would not adjudicate their religious dispute.

[22:19]  ¹¹ tn Grk “And I said.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai, in καγώ [kagw]) has not been translated here.

[22:19]  ¹² tn For the distributive sense of the expression κατὰ τὰς συναγωγάς (kata ta" sunagwga") BDAG 512 s.v. κατά B.1.d has “of places viewed serially, distributive use w. acc.…κατ᾿ οἶκαν from house to house…Ac 2:46b; 5:42…Likew. the pl.…κ. τὰς συναγωγάς 22:19.” See also L&N 37.114.

[24:15]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “having.” The participle ἔχων (ecwn) has been translated as a finite verb and a new sentence begun at this point in the translation because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence.

[24:15]  ¹⁷ sn This mention of Paul’s hope sets up his appeal to the resurrection of the dead. At this point Paul was ignoring the internal Jewish dispute between the Pharisees (to which he had belonged) and the Sadducees (who denied there would be a resurrection of the dead).

[24:15]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “a hope in God (which these [men] themselves accept too).” Because the antecedent of the relative pronoun “which” is somewhat unclear in English, the words “a hope” have been repeated at the beginning of the parenthesis for clarity.

[24:15]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “that they”; the referent (these men, Paul’s accusers) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:15]  ²⁰ tn Or “the unjust.”
