Kisah Para Rasul 26:11

26:11 I punished ¹  them often in all the synagogues ²  and tried to force ³  them to blaspheme. Because I was so furiously enraged ⁴  at them, I went to persecute ⁵  them even in foreign cities.

Kisah Para Rasul 21:35

21:35 When he came to the steps, Paul ⁶  had to be carried ⁷  by the soldiers because of the violence ⁸  of the mob,

Kisah Para Rasul 7:19

7:19 This was the one who exploited ⁹  our people ¹⁰  and was cruel to our ancestors, ¹¹  forcing them to abandon ¹²  their infants so they would die. ¹³ 

[26:11]  ¹ tn Grk “and punishing…I tried.” The participle τιμωρῶν (timwrwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. 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.

[26:11]  ² sn See the note on synagogue in 6:9.

[26:11]  ³ tn The imperfect verb ἠνάγκαζον (hnankazon) has been translated as a conative imperfect (so BDAG 60 s.v. ἀναγκάζω 1, which has “ἠνάγκαζον βλασφημεῖν I tried to force them to blaspheme Ac 26:11”).

[26:11]  ⁴ tn Or “was so insanely angry with them.” BDAG 322 s.v. ἐμμαίνομαι states, “to be filled with such anger that one appears to be mad, be enraged…περισσῶς ἐμμαινόμενος αὐτοῖς being furiously enraged at them Ac 26:11”; L&N 88.182 s.v. ἐμμαίνομαι, “to be so furiously angry with someone as to be almost out of one’s mind – ‘to be enraged, to be infuriated, to be insanely angry’ …‘I was so infuriated with them that I even went to foreign cities to persecute them’ Ac 26:11.”

[26:11]  ⁵ tn Or “I pursued them even as far as foreign cities.”

[21:35]  ⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:35]  ⁷ sn Paul had to be carried. Note how the arrest really ended up protecting Paul. The crowd is portrayed as irrational at this point.

[21:35]  ⁸ tn This refers to mob violence (BDAG 175 s.v. βία b).

[7:19]  ⁹ tn According to L&N 88.147 it is also possible to translate κατασοφισάμενος (katasofisameno") as “took advantage by clever words” or “persuaded by sweet talk.”

[7:19]  ¹⁰ tn Or “race.”

[7:19]  ¹¹ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[7:19]  ¹² tn Or “expose” (BDAG 303 s.v. ἔκθετος).

[7:19]  ¹³ tn Grk “so that they could not be kept alive,” but in this context the phrase may be translated either “so that they would not continue to live,” or “so that they would die” (L&N 23.89).
