16:13-36 Luke gives his readers cameos of three lives touched by the Good News in Philippi: a wealthy woman (16:14-15), an exploited slave girl (16:16-21), and a middle-class officer (16:23-36).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
αἰτήσας & φῶτα
/having/_requested & lights
Luke assumes that his readers will understand that the jailer called for lights because it was midnight and dark, and he wanted to be sure that his prisoners were still in the prison. You can include this information if your readers need it to understand this sentence. UST models a way to do this.
Note 2 topic: translate-symaction
προσέπεσεν τῷ Παύλῳ καὶ Σιλᾷ
˱he˲_fell_before ¬the ˱to˲_Paul and Silas
Be sure that it is clear in your translation that the jailer did not fall down accidentally. He knelt down at the feet of Paul and Silas as a gesture to honor them. Alternate translation: “he knelt down respectfully in front of Paul and Silas”
