Acts 8:21

8:21 You have no share or part ¹  in this matter ²  because your heart is not right before God!

Acts 23:5

23:5 Paul replied, ³  “I did not realize, ⁴  brothers, that he was the high priest, for it is written, ‘You must not speak evil about a ruler of your people.’” ⁵ 

[8:21]  ¹ tn The translation “share or part” is given by L&N 63.13.

[8:21]  ² tn Since the semantic range for λόγος (logos) is so broad, a number of different translations could be given for the prepositional phrase here. Something along the lines of “in this thing” would work well, but is too colloquial for the present translation.

[23:5]  ³ tn Grk “said.”

[23:5]  ⁴ tn Or “know.”

[23:5]  ⁵ sn A quotation from Exod 22:28. This text defines a form of blasphemy. Paul, aware of the fact that he came close to crossing the line, backed off out of respect for the law.
