Kisah Para Rasul 23:16-18

23:16 But when the son of Paul’s sister heard about the ambush, ⁸  he came and entered ⁹  the barracks ¹⁰  and told Paul. 23:17 Paul called ¹¹  one of the centurions ¹²  and said, “Take this young man to the commanding officer, ¹³  for he has something to report to him.” 23:18 So the centurion ¹⁴  took him and brought him to the commanding officer ¹⁵  and said, “The prisoner Paul called ¹⁶  me and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.”

[9:24]  ¹ tn The words “against him” are implied, as suggested by L&N 30.71.

[9:24]  ² tn Or “guarding.” This is a negative term in Luke-Acts (Luke 6:7; 14:1; 20:20).

[9:24]  ³ tn The word πύλη (pulh) may refer to a house door or gate, or to the large gates used in a palace, temple, or city wall. Here the context clearly indicates a reference to the latter, so the translation “city gates” is used.

[14:6]  ⁴ tn Grk “they”; the referents (Paul and Barnabas) have been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:6]  ⁵ tn Grk “learning about it, fled.” The participle συνιδόντες (sunidonte") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. It could also be taken temporally (“when they learned about it”) as long as opening clause of v. 5 is not translated as a temporal clause too, which results in a redundancy.

[14:6]  ⁶ sn Lystra was a city in Lycaonia about 18 mi (30 km) south of Iconium, a Roman colony that was not on the main roads of Lycaonia. Because of its relative isolation, its local character was able to be preserved.

[23:16]  ⁸ tn Or “plot” (BDAG 334 s.v. ἐνέδρα).

[23:16]  ⁹ tn Grk “coming and entering…, he told.” The participles παραγενόμενος (paragenomeno") and εἰσελθών (eiselqwn) have been translated as finite verbs due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[23:16]  ¹⁰ tn Or “the headquarters.” BDAG 775 s.v. παρεμβολή 2 has “barracks/headquarters of the Roman troops in Jerusalem Ac 21:34, 37; 22:24; 23:10, 16, 32.”

[23:17]  ¹¹ tn Grk “calling…Paul said.” The participle προσκαλεσάμενος (proskalesameno") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
