Kisah Para Rasul 22:1

Paul’s Defense

22:1 “Brothers and fathers, listen to my defense ⁷  that I now ⁸  make to you.”

[17:3]  ¹ tn Heb “father.”

[17:3]  ² tn Heb “for he walked in the ways of David his father [in] the beginning [times].”

[17:4]  ³ tn Heb “fathers.”

[17:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “walked in.”

[17:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “and not like the behavior of Israel.”

[17:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “and strengthened himself over Israel.”

[22:1]  ⁷ sn Listen to my defense. This is the first of several speeches Paul would make in his own defense: Acts 24:10ff.; 25:8, 16; and 26:1ff. For the use of such a speech (“apologia”) in Greek, see Josephus, Ag. Ap. 2.15 [2.147]; Wis 6:10.

[22:1]  ⁸ tn The adverb νυνί (nuni, “now”) is connected with the phrase τῆς πρὸς ὑμᾶς νυνὶ ἀπολογίας (th" pro" Juma" nuni apologia") rather than the verb ἀκούσατε (akousate), and the entire construction (prepositional phrase plus adverb) is in first attributive position and thus translated into English by a relative clause.
