Saul Begins to Persecute the Church

Now on that day a great ⁹  persecution began ¹⁰  against the church in Jerusalem, ¹¹  and all ¹²  except the apostles were forced to scatter throughout the regions ¹³  of Judea and Samaria.

[50:18]  ¹ tn Heb “you run with him.”

[50:18]  ² tn Heb “and with adulterers [is] your portion.”

[11:48]  ³ tn Grk “you are witnesses and approve of.”

[11:48]  ⁴ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[11:48]  ⁵ tn Grk “them”; the referent (the prophets) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:48]  ⁶ tn “Their,” i.e., the prophets.

[11:48]  ⁷ tc The majority of mss list a specific object (“their tombs”), filling out the sentence (although there are two different words for “tombs” among the mss, as well as different word orders: αὐτῶν τὰ μνημεῖα (autwn ta mnhmeia; found in A C W Θ Ψ 33 Ï) and τοὺς τάφους αὐτῶν (tou" tafou" autwn; found in Ë^1,[13] 2542 pc). This suggests that early copyists had no term in front of them but felt the verb needed an object. But since a wide distribution of early Alexandrian and Western mss lack these words (Ì⁷⁵ א B D L 579 1241 it sa), it is likely that they were not part of the original text of Luke. Nevertheless, the words “their tombs” are inserted in the translation because of requirements of English style.

[8:1]  ⁸ tn The term ἀναίρεσις (anairesi") can refer to murder (BDAG 64 s.v.; 2 Macc 5:13; Josephus, Ant. 5.2.12 [5.165]).

[8:1]  ⁹ tn Or “severe.”

[8:1]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “Now there happened on that day a great persecution.” It is less awkward to say in English “Now on that day a great persecution began.”

[8:1]  ¹¹ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[8:1]  ¹² sn All. Given that the Jerusalem church is still active after this and that the Hellenists are the focus of Acts 6-8, it is possible to argue that only the Hellenistic Christians were forced to scatter.

[8:1]  ¹³ tn Or “countryside.”
