21:36 for a crowd of people ¹  followed them, ²  screaming, “Away with him!”

Kisah Para Rasul 22:22

The Roman Commander Questions Paul

22:22 The crowd ³  was listening to him until he said this. ⁴  Then ⁵  they raised their voices and shouted, ⁶  “Away with this man ⁷  from the earth! For he should not be allowed to live!” ⁸ 

[21:36]  ¹ tn Grk “the multitude of people.” While πλῆθος (plhqo") is articular, it has been translated “a crowd” since it was probably a subset of the larger mob that gathered in v. 30.

[21:36]  ² tn The word “them” is not in the Greek text but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.

[22:22]  ³ tn Grk “They were listening”; the referent (the crowd) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:22]  ⁴ 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]  ⁵ tn Grk “And.” To indicate the logical sequence, καί (kai) has been translated as “then” here.

[22:22]  ⁶ tn Grk “and said.”

[22:22]  ⁷ tn Grk “this one.”

[22:22]  ⁸ 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.”
