Kisah Para Rasul 14:2

14:2 But the Jews who refused to believe ²  stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds ³  against the brothers.

Kisah Para Rasul 22:30

Paul Before the Sanhedrin

22:30 The next day, because the commanding officer ⁴  wanted to know the true reason ⁵  Paul ⁶  was being accused by the Jews, he released him and ordered the chief priests and the whole council ⁷  to assemble. He then brought ⁸  Paul down and had him stand before them.

Kisah Para Rasul 22:1

Paul’s Defense

22:1 “Brothers and fathers, listen to my defense ⁹  that I now ¹⁰  make to you.”

[18:29]  ¹ tn The Hebrew verbal forms could be imperatives (“Disguise yourself and enter”), but this would make no sense in light of the immediately following context. The forms are better interpreted as infinitives absolute functioning as cohortatives (see IBHS 594 §35.5.2a). Some prefer to emend the forms to imperfects.

[14:2]  ² tn Or “who would not believe.”

[14:2]  ³ tn Or “embittered their minds” (Grk “their souls”). BDAG 502 s.v. κακόω 2 has “make angry, embitter τὰς ψυχάς τινων κατά τινος poison the minds of some persons against another Ac 14:2.”

[22:30]  ⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the commanding officer) has been supplied here in the translation for clarity.

[22:30]  ⁵ tn Grk “the certainty, why.” BDAG 147 s.v. ἀσφαλής 2 has “τὸ ἀ. the certainty = the truth (in ref. to ferreting out the facts…ἵνα τὸ ἀ. ἐπιγνῶ) γνῶναι 21:34; 22:30.”

[22:30]  ⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:30]  ⁷ tn Grk “the whole Sanhedrin” (the Sanhedrin was the highest legal, legislative, and judicial body among the Jews).

[22:30]  ⁸ tn Grk “and bringing.” The participle καταγαγών (katagagwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was begun in the translation, and καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to clarify the logical sequence.

[22:1]  ⁹ 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]  ¹⁰ 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.
