18:21 but said farewell to ⁶  them and added, ⁷  “I will come back ⁸  to you again if God wills.” ⁹  Then ¹⁰  he set sail from Ephesus,

Kisah Para Rasul 21:18

21:18 The next day Paul went in with us to see James, and all the elders were there. ¹¹

Kisah Para Rasul 24:20

24:20 Or these men here ¹³  should tell what crime ¹⁴  they found me guilty of ¹⁵  when I stood before the council, ¹⁶ 

[9:1]  ¹ tn Or “Saul, making dire threats.”

[9:1]  ² tn The expression “breathing out threats and murder” is an idiomatic expression for “making threats to murder” (see L&N 33.293). Although the two terms “threats” and “murder” are syntactically coordinate, the second is semantically subordinate to the first. In other words, the content of the threats is to murder the disciples.

[15:30]  ³ tn Or “sent away.”

[15:30]  ⁴ sn Antioch was a city in Syria (not Antioch in Pisidia).

[15:30]  ⁵ tn Or “congregation” (referring to the group of believers).

[18:21]  ⁶ tn Or “but took leave of.”

[18:21]  ⁷ tn Grk “and saying”; the participle εἰπών (eipwn) has been translated as “added” rather than “said” to avoid redundancy with the previous “said farewell.” The participle εἰπών has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[18:21]  ⁸ tn Or “will return.”

[18:21]  ⁹ tn The participle θέλοντος (qelontos), a genitive absolute construction, has been translated as a conditional adverbial participle. Again Paul acts in dependence on God.

[18:21]  ¹⁰ tn A new sentence was begun here in the translation due to the length of the sentence in Greek and the requirements of contemporary English style, which generally uses shorter sentences.

[21:18]  ¹¹ tn BDAG 760 s.v. παραγίνομαι 1 has this use under the broad category of meaning “draw near, come, arrive, be present.”

[21:18]  sn All the elders were there. This meeting shows how the Jerusalem church still regarded Paul and his mission with favor, but also with some concerns because of the rumors circulating about his actions.

[22:21]  ¹² tn Grk “And.” Since this represents a response to Paul’s reply in v. 19, καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the logical sequence.

[24:20]  ¹³ tn Grk “these [men] themselves.”

[24:20]  ¹⁴ tn Or “unrighteous act.”

[24:20]  ¹⁵ tn The words “me guilty of” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. L&N 88.23 has “αὐτοὶ οὗτοι εἰπάτωσαν τί εὗρον ἀδίκημα στάντος μου ‘let these men themselves tell what unrighteous act they found me guilty of’ Ac 24:20.”

[24:20]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “the Sanhedrin” (the Sanhedrin was the highest legal, legislative, and judicial body among the Jews).
