Kisah Para Rasul 25:14

25:14 While ⁶  they were staying there many days, Festus ⁷  explained Paul’s case to the king to get his opinion, ⁸  saying, “There is a man left here as a prisoner by Felix.

[17:7]  ¹ tn Grk “whom.” Because of the awkwardness in English of having two relative clauses follow one another (“who have stirred up trouble…whom Jason has welcomed”) the relative pronoun here (“whom”) has been replaced by the conjunction “and,” creating a clause that is grammatically coordinate but logically subordinate in the translation.

[17:7]  ² tn Grk “and they.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun.

[17:7]  ³ tn Or “the emperor’s” (“Caesar” is a title for the Roman emperor).

[17:7]  ⁴ tn The word “named” is not in the Greek text, but is supplied for clarity.

[17:7]  ⁵ sn Acting…saying…Jesus. The charges are serious, involving sedition (Luke 23:2). If the political charges were true, Rome would have to react.

[25:14]  ⁶ tn BDAG 1105-6 s.v. ὡς 8.b states, “w. pres. or impf. while, when, as long as…Ac 1:10; 7:23; 9:23; 10:17; 13:25; 19:9; 21:27; 25:14.”

[25:14]  ⁷ sn See the note on Porcius Festus in 24:27.

[25:14]  ⁸ tn Grk “Festus laid Paul’s case before the king for consideration.” BDAG 74 s.v. ἀνατίθημι 2 states, “otherw. only mid. to lay someth. before someone for consideration, declare, communicate, refer w. the added idea that the pers. to whom a thing is ref. is asked for his opinion lay someth. before someone for consideration…Ac 25:14.”
