Acts 24:8

24:8 When you examine ¹  him yourself, you will be able to learn from him ²  about all these things we are accusing him of doing.” ³ 

Acts 28:18

28:18 When ⁴  they had heard my case, ⁵  they wanted to release me, ⁶  because there was no basis for a death sentence ⁷  against me.

[24:8]  ¹ tn Or “question.”

[24:8]  ² tn Grk “From whom when you examine him yourself, you will be able to learn…” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the relative pronoun (“whom”) was replaced by the third person singular pronoun (“him”) and a new sentence begun at the beginning of v. 8 in the translation.

[24:8]  ³ tn Grk “about all these things of which we are accusing him.” This has been simplified to eliminate the relative pronoun (“of which”) in the translation.

[28:18]  ⁴ tn Grk “who when.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the relative pronoun (“who”) has been replaced by the personal pronoun (“they”) and a new sentence begun at this point in the translation.

[28:18]  ⁵ tn Or “had questioned me”; or “had examined me.” BDAG 66 s.v. ἀνακρίνω 2 states, “to conduct a judicial hearing, hear a case, question.”

[28:18]  ⁶ sn They wanted to release me. See Acts 25:23-27.

[28:18]  ⁷ tn Grk “no basis for death,” but in this context a sentence of death is clearly indicated.
