Acts 26:2

26:2 “Regarding all the things I have been accused of by the Jews, King Agrippa, ¹  I consider myself fortunate that I am about to make my defense before you today,

Acts 26:7

26:7 a promise ²  that our twelve tribes hope to attain as they earnestly serve God ³  night and day. Concerning this hope the Jews are accusing me, ⁴  Your Majesty! ⁵ 

[26:2]  ¹ sn See the note on King Agrippa in 25:13.

[26:7]  ² tn Grk “to which [promise] our twelve tribes…” The antecedent of the relative pronoun (the promise in v. 6) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[26:7]  ³ tn Or “earnestly worship.” The object of this service, God, is omitted but implied: BDAG 587 s.v. λατρεύω states, “Without the dat. of the one to whom service is given: ἐν ἐκτενείᾳ νύκτα κ. ἡμέραν λ. serve (God) earnestly night and day Ac 26:7.” Although clear from the context in Greek, “God” must be supplied as the recipient of the service for the modern English reader.

[26:7]  ⁴ tn Grk “I am being accused by the Jews.” The passive construction was simplified by converting it to an active one in the translation.

[26:7]  ⁵ tn Grk “O King!”
