Kisah Para Rasul 22:22

The Roman Commander Questions Paul

22:22 The crowd ⁴  was listening to him until he said this. ⁵  Then ⁶  they raised their voices and shouted, ⁷  “Away with this man ⁸  from the earth! For he should not be allowed to live!” ⁹ 

[20:20]  ¹ tn Or “declaring.”

[20:20]  ² tn Or “profitable.” BDAG 960 s.v. συμφέρω 2.b.α has “τὰ συμφέροντα what advances your best interests or what is good for you Ac 20:20,” but the broader meaning (s.v. 2, “to be advantageous, help, confer a benefit, be profitable/useful”) is equally possible in this context.

[20:20]  ³ tn Or “openly.”

[22:22]  ⁴ tn Grk “They were listening”; the referent (the crowd) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:22]  ⁵ tn Grk “until this word.”

[22:22]  sn Until he said this. Note it is the mention of Paul’s mission to the Gentiles with its implication of ethnic openness that is so disturbing to the audience.

[22:22]  ⁶ tn Grk “And.” To indicate the logical sequence, καί (kai) has been translated as “then” here.

[22:22]  ⁷ tn Grk “and said.”

[22:22]  ⁸ tn Grk “this one.”

[22:22]  ⁹ tn BDAG 491 s.v. καθήκω has “to be appropriate, come/reach to, be proper/fitting…Usu. impers. καθήκει it comes (to someone)…foll. by acc. and inf….οὐ καθῆκεν αὐτὸν ζῆν he should not be allowed to live Ac 22:22.”
