TSNTyndale Study Notes:

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

οἵτινες τῷ Παύλῳ ἔλεγον

who ¬the ˱to˲_Paul /were/_saying

The pronoun who refers to the disciples in Tyre. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers, and you may want to begin a new sentence. Alternate translation: “Those disciples kept saying to Paul”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἐπιβαίνειν εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα

/to_be/_setting_foot_in to Jerusalem

The disciples were using one part of Paul, his foot, to represent all of him in the potential act of going to Jerusalem. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to go to Jerusalem”
