Kisah Para Rasul 16:38

16:38 The police officers reported these words to the magistrates. They were frightened when they heard Paul and Silas ⁵  were Roman citizens ⁶ 

[13:19]  ¹ tn Grk “And after.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[13:19]  ² tn The participle καθελών (kaqelwn) is taken temporally.

[13:19]  ³ sn Seven nations. See Deut 7:1.

[13:19]  ⁴ tn Grk “he gave their land as an inheritance.” The words “his people” are supplied to complete an ellipsis specifying the recipients of the land.

[16:38]  ⁵ tn Grk “heard they”; the referents (Paul and Silas) have been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:38]  ⁶ sn Roman citizens. This fact was disturbing to the officials because due process was a right for a Roman citizen, well established in Roman law. To flog a Roman citizen was considered an abomination. Such punishment was reserved for noncitizens.
