7:31 When Moses saw it, he was amazed at the sight, and when he approached to investigate, there came the voice of the Lord,

Acts 7:57

Acts 9:4

9:4 He ²  fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, ³  why are you persecuting me?” ⁴ 

Acts 9:7

9:7 (Now the men ⁵  who were traveling with him stood there speechless, ⁶  because they heard the voice but saw no one.) ⁷ 

Acts 10:15

10:15 The voice ⁸  spoke to him again, a second time, “What God has made clean, you must not consider ⁹  ritually unclean!” ¹⁰ 

Acts 11:9

11:9 But the voice replied a second time from heaven, ‘What God has made clean, you must not consider ¹¹  ritually unclean!’

Acts 22:7

22:7 Then I ¹⁷  fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’

[7:57]  ¹ sn They covered their ears to avoid hearing what they considered to be blasphemy.

[9:4]  ¹ tn Grk “and he.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun.

[9:4]  ² tn The double vocative suggests emotion.

[9:4]  ³ sn Persecuting me. To persecute the church is to persecute Jesus.

[9:7]  ¹ tn The Greek term here is ἀνήρ (anhr), which is used only rarely in a generic sense of both men and women. In the historical setting here, Paul’s traveling companions were almost certainly all males.

[9:7]  ² tn That is, unable to speak because of fear or amazement. See BDAG 335 s.v. ἐνεός.

[9:7]  ³ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author. Acts 22:9 appears to indicate that they saw the light but did not hear a voice. They were “witnesses” that something happened.

[10:15]  ¹ tn Grk “And the voice.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[10:15]  ² tn Or “declare.”

[10:15]  ³ sn For the significance of this vision see Mark 7:14-23; Rom 14:14; Eph 2:11-22. God directed this change in practice.

[11:9]  ¹ tn Or “declare.” The wording matches Acts 10:15.

[14:10]  ¹ tn BDAG 722 s.v. ὀρθός 1.a has “stand upright on your feet.”

[14:10]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:10]  ³ tn This verb is imperfect tense in contrast to the previous verb, which is aorist. It has been translated ingressively, since the start of a sequence is in view here.

[16:28]  ¹ tn Grk “But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying.” The dative phrase μεγάλῃ φωνῇ (megalh fwnh) has been simplified as an English adverb (“loudly”), and the participle λέγων (legwn) has not been translated since it is redundant in English.

[16:28]  ² sn Do not harm yourself. Again the irony is that Paul is the agent through whom the jailer is spared.

[22:7]  ¹ tn This is a continuation of the same sentence in Greek using the connective τέ (te), but due to the length and complexity of the Greek sentence a new sentence was begun in the translation here. To indicate the logical sequence for the modern English reader, τέ was translated as “then.”
