TSNTyndale Study Notes:

19:31 Some of the officials of the province (Greek Asiarchai, “rulers of Asia”): The “Asiarchs” were the appointed leaders in the Roman province of Asia. They served as civic benefactors and usually championed the emperor cult. Some of these officials in high places were friends of Paul—Luke highlights that Christianity was attractive to people of high standing in society.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-names

τῶν Ἀσιαρχῶν

˱of˲_the Asian_rulers

The word Asiarchs is the name for the provincial officers who governed the Roman province of Asia.

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτῷ & αὐτὸν & παρεκάλουν & ἑαυτὸν

˱to˲_him & him & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τινὲς δὲ καὶ τῶν Ἀσιαρχῶν ὄντες αὐτῷ φίλοι πέμψαντες πρὸς αὐτὸν παρεκάλουν μὴ δοῦναι ἑαυτὸν εἰς τὸ θέατρον)

The pronouns him and himself refer to Paul. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “of Paul’s … him … were urging Paul … himself”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

δοῦναι ἑαυτὸν εἰς τὸ θέατρον

/to/_give himself into the theatre

The expression to give himself means “to go,” but it suggests risk and danger. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to risk going into the theater”
