NETBible

And when the blood of your witness¹ Stephen was shed,² I myself was standing nearby, approving,³ and guarding the cloaks⁴ of those who were killing him.’⁵

NET Notes

¹sn Now Paul referred to Stephen as your witness, and he himself had also become a witness. The reversal was now complete; the opponent had now become a proponent.

²sn When the blood of your witness Stephen was shed means “when your witness Stephen was murdered.”

³tn Grk “and approving.” This καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

⁴tn Or “outer garments.”

⁴sn The cloaks. The outer garment, or cloak, was taken off and laid aside to leave the arms free (in this case for throwing stones).

⁵tn Or “who were putting him to death.” For the translation of ἀναιρούντων (anairountwn) as “putting to death” see BDAG 64 s.v. ἀναιρέω 2.
