26:1-23 In his eloquent defense before King Agrippa, Paul argued that his preaching was completely consistent with the Jewish faith. The defense begins with a courteous acknowledgement of Agrippa’s competence to hear the evidence (26:2-3), outlines the nature of Paul’s background, Jewish training, and membership in the Pharisees (26:4-5), and explains that the charges against him are merely for believing the fulfillment of Jewish hopes for the resurrection (26:6-8). Paul then tells the story of his conversion from strong opponent of Christianity (26:9-11) through a vision on the way to Damascus (26:12-18; see 9:1-18). His preaching was nothing more than obeying this divine vision (26:19-20). Even though he encountered violent opposition from his fellow Jews (26:21), God protected him as he taught a message that the Jews should have embraced (26:22-23). This defense is a model for Christians put on trial for their faith (see 9:15; Luke 21:12-15).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τῶν ἁγίων
˱of˲_the holy_‹ones›
Paul is using the term saints by association to mean believers in Jesus. See how you translated the term in 9:33. Alternate translation: “of the believers in Jesus”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
ἀναιρουμένων & αὐτῶν
/being/_killed & ˱of˲_them
Paul is using one part of the process of putting someone on trial for a capital offense and punishing that person if he is found guilty to represent the entire process. Since he speaks of casting his vote in favor of execution, here he means specifically the trial part of the process. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “when they were being put on trial for crimes with a penalty of death”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἀναιρουμένων & αὐτῶν
/being/_killed & ˱of˲_them
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: “when the Sanhedrin was considering whether to execute them”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
κατήνεγκα ψῆφον
˱I˲_brought_against_‹them› /a/_vote
The implication is that Paul cast his vote as a member of the Sanhedrin. You can provide this information in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “as a member of the Sanhedrin, I cast my vote against them”
