3:13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, 1  the God of our forefathers, 2  has glorified 3  his servant 4  Jesus, whom you handed over and rejected 5  in the presence of Pilate after he had decided 6  to release him.

Acts 25:16

[3:13]  1 tc ‡ The repetition of ὁ θεός (Jo qeos, “God”) before the names of Isaac and Jacob is found in Ì74 א C (A D without article) 36 104 1175 pc lat. The omission of the second and third ὁ θεός is supported by B E Ψ 33 1739 Ï pc. The other time that Exod 3:6 is quoted in Acts (7:32) the best witnesses also lack the repeated ὁ θεός, but the three other times this OT passage is quoted in the NT the full form, with the thrice-mentioned θεός, is used (Matt 22:32; Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Scribes would be prone to conform the wording here to the LXX; the longer reading is thus most likely not authentic. NA27 has the words in brackets, indicating doubts as to their authenticity.

[3:13]  2 tn Or “ancestors”; Grk “fathers.”

[3:13]  3 sn Has glorified. Jesus is alive, raised and active, as the healing illustrates so dramatically how God honors him.

[3:13]  4 sn His servant. The term servant has messianic connotations given the context of the promise, the note of suffering, and the titles and functions noted in vv. 14-15.

[3:13]  5 tn Or “denied,” “disowned.”

[3:13]  6 tn This genitive absolute construction could be understood as temporal (“when he had decided”) or concessive (“although he had decided”).

[25:16]  7 tn Grk “to whom I answered.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the relative pronoun (“whom”) has been replaced with a personal pronoun (“them”) and a new sentence started in the translation at the beginning of v. 16.

[25:16]  8 tn Grk “any man.” This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpos).

[25:16]  9 tn Or “has met his accusers in person.”

[25:16]  10 tn Grk “and receives.”

[25:16]  11 tn Or “indictment” (a legal technical term). BDAG 273-74 s.v. ἔγκλημα 1 states, “legal t.t.…ἀπολογία περὶ τοῦ ἐ. defense against the accusation Ac 25:16.” L&N 56.6 defines ἔγκλημα (enklhma) as “(a technical, legal term) a formal indictment or accusation brought against someone – ‘indictment, accusation, case.’ …‘and might receive an opportunity for a defense against the indictment’ Ac 25:16.”
