20:5-15 This is another of the “we” passages in Acts (see study note on 16:10). Luke apparently rejoined Paul at Philippi, where Luke had remained several years earlier, and journeyed with Paul to Jerusalem (21:1-18).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
τῇ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων
the first_‹day› ˱of˲_the week
Luke is using the adjective first as a noun to mean a particular day of the week. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “the first day of the week”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῇ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων
the first_‹day› ˱of˲_the week
Luke assumes that his readers will understand that the believers met on the first of the week because that was the day Jesus rose from the dead. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “the first day of the week, when Jesus rose from the dead”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
συνηγμένων ἡμῶν
/having_been/_gathered_together us
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “we having gathered together”
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτοῖς
˱with˲_them
The pronoun them refers to the believers in Troas with whom Paul and his traveling companions were meeting. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “the believers in Troas”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
κλάσαι ἄρτον
/to/_break bread
Luke could be using the word break to mean “eat,” and he could be using the word bread to mean “food.” In each case he would be using one part of something to mean the whole thing. Breaking bread is one thing people do when they eat it, and bread is one kind of food. So this could be a reference to the believers sharing a meal together. Alternate translation: “to share a meal” or see the next note for a further possibility.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
κλάσαι ἄρτον
/to/_break bread
By to break bread, Luke could also mean remembering the death of Jesus in the way that Jesus commanded, by literally breaking a loaf of bread and sharing it (and also sharing a cup of wine). If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “to observe the Lord’s Supper”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸν λόγον
the speech
Luke is using the term word to mean the message that Paul was sharing by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “his message”
