Acts 26:28

26:28 Agrippa ⁷  said to Paul, “In such a short time are you persuading me to become a Christian?” ⁸ 

[2:28]  ¹ sn A quotation from Ps 16:8-11.

[7:28]  ² tn The Greek construction anticipates a negative reply which is indicated in the translation by the ‘tag’ at the end, “do you?”

[10:29]  ³ tn Grk “Therefore when I was sent for.” The passive participle μεταπεμφθείς (metapemfqei") has been taken temporally and converted to an active construction which is less awkward in English.

[10:29]  ⁴ tn Grk “ask for what reason.”

[22:21]  ⁴ tn Grk “And.” Since this represents a response to Paul’s reply in v. 19, καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the logical sequence.

[26:21]  ⁵ tn Grk “in the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.

[26:28]  ⁶ sn See the note on King Agrippa in 25:13.

[26:28]  ⁷ tn Or “In a short time you will make me a Christian.” On the difficulty of the precise nuances of Agrippa’s reply in this passage, see BDAG 791 s.v. πείθω 1.b. The idiom is like 1 Kgs 21:7 LXX. The point is that Paul was trying to persuade Agrippa to accept his message. If Agrippa had let Paul persuade him, he would have converted to Christianity.
