Acts 8:30

8:30 So Philip ran up ¹  to it ²  and heard the man ³  reading Isaiah the prophet. He ⁴  asked him, ⁵  “Do you understand what you’re reading?”

[8:30]  ¹ tn The participle προσδραμών (prosdramwn) is regarded as attendant circumstance.

[8:30]  ² tn The words “to it” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

[8:30]  ³ tn Grk “heard him”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:30]  ⁴ 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.

[8:30]  ⁵ tn Grk “he said”; but since what follows is a question, it is better English style to translate the introduction to the question “he asked him.”
