Acts 22:30

Paul Before the Sanhedrin

22:30 The next day, because the commanding officer ⁵  wanted to know the true reason ⁶  Paul ⁷  was being accused by the Jews, he released him and ordered the chief priests and the whole council ⁸  to assemble. He then brought ⁹  Paul down and had him stand before them.

[17:31]  ¹ tn Or “fixed.”

[17:31]  ² sn The world refers to the whole inhabited earth.

[17:31]  ³ tn Or “appointed.” BDAG 723 s.v. ὁρίζω 2.b has “of persons appoint, designate, declare: God judges the world ἐν ἀνδρὶ ᾧ ὥρισεν through a man whom he has appointed Ac 17:31.”

[17:31]  ⁴ tn The participle ἀναστήσας (anasthsa") indicates means here.

[22:30]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the commanding officer) has been supplied here in the translation for clarity.

[22:30]  ⁶ tn Grk “the certainty, why.” BDAG 147 s.v. ἀσφαλής 2 has “τὸ ἀ. the certainty = the truth (in ref. to ferreting out the facts…ἵνα τὸ ἀ. ἐπιγνῶ) γνῶναι 21:34; 22:30.”

[22:30]  ⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:30]  ⁸ tn Grk “the whole Sanhedrin” (the Sanhedrin was the highest legal, legislative, and judicial body among the Jews).

[22:30]  ⁹ tn Grk “and bringing.” The participle καταγαγών (katagagwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was begun in the translation, and καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to clarify the logical sequence.
