Acts 26:31

26:31 and as they were leaving they said to one another, ¹  “This man is not doing anything deserving ²  death or imprisonment.”

Acts 23:19

23:19 The commanding officer ³  took him by the hand, withdrew privately, and asked, “What is it that you want ⁴  to report to me?”

[26:31]  ¹ tn Grk “they spoke to one another saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in English and has not been translated.

[26:31]  ² tn BDAG 93 s.v. ἄξιος 1.b has “θανάτου ἢ δεσμῶν ἄ. nothing deserving death or imprisonment 23:29; 26:31.”

[23:19]  ³ tn Grk “the chiliarch” (an officer in command of a thousand soldiers). See note on the term “commanding officer” in v. 10.

[23:19]  ⁴ tn Grk “you have,” but the expression “have to report” in English could be understood to mean “must report” rather than “possess to report.” For this reason the nearly equivalent expression “want to report,” which is not subject to misunderstanding, was used in the translation.
