Kisah Para Rasul 22:30
Konteks22:30 The next day, because the commanding officer 1 wanted to know the true reason 2 Paul 3 was being accused by the Jews, he released him and ordered the chief priests and the whole council 4 to assemble. He then brought 5 Paul down and had him stand before them.
Kisah Para Rasul 25:26
Konteks25:26 But I have nothing definite 6 to write to my lord 7 about him. 8 Therefore I have brought him before you all, and especially before you, King Agrippa, 9 so that after this preliminary hearing 10 I may have something to write.
Kisah Para Rasul 26:26
Konteks26:26 For the king knows about these things, and I am speaking freely 11 to him, 12 because I cannot believe 13 that any of these things has escaped his notice, 14 for this was not done in a corner. 15
[22:30] 1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the commanding officer) has been supplied here in the translation for clarity.
[22:30] 2 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] 3 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[22:30] 4 tn Grk “the whole Sanhedrin” (the Sanhedrin was the highest legal, legislative, and judicial body among the Jews).
[22:30] 5 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.
[25:26] 6 sn There is irony here. How can Festus write anything definite about Paul, if he is guilty of nothing.
[25:26] 7 sn To my lord means “to His Majesty the Emperor.”
[25:26] 8 tn Grk “about whom I have nothing definite…” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the relative pronoun (“whom”) was replaced with a personal pronoun (“him”) and a new sentence begun in the translation at the beginning of v. 26.
[25:26] 9 sn See the note on King Agrippa in 25:13.
[25:26] 10 tn Or “investigation.” BDAG 66 s.v. ἀνάκρισις has “a judicial hearing, investigation, hearing, esp. preliminary hearing…τῆς ἀ. γενομένης Ac 25:26.” This is technical legal language.
[26:26] 11 tn BDAG 782 s.v. παρρησιάζομαι 1 states, “speak freely, openly, fearlessly…likew. in the ptc. w. a verb of saying foll.…παρρησιασάμενοι εἶπαν 13:46. – 26:26.” This could refer to boldness in speaking here.
[26:26] 12 tn Grk “to whom I am speaking freely.” The relative pronoun (“whom”) was replaced by the personal pronoun (“him”) to simplify the translation.
[26:26] 13 tn Grk “I cannot convince myself.” BDAG 792 s.v. πείθω 3.a states, “οὐ πείθομαι w. acc. and inf. I cannot believe Ac 26:26” (see also BDAG 586 s.v. λανθάνω).
[26:26] 14 tn BDAG 586 s.v. λανθάνω states, “λανθάνειν αὐτὸν τούτων οὐ πείθομαι οὐθέν I cannot bring myself to believe that any of these things has escaped his notice Ac 26:26.”
[26:26] 15 tn This term refers to a hidden corner (BDAG 209 s.v. γωνία). Paul’s point is that these events to which he refers were not done in a secret, hidden place, tucked away outside of view. They were done in public for all the world to see.
