πρὸ προσώπου τῆς εἰσόδου αὐτοῦ
before /the/_face ˱of˲_the entrance ˱of˲_him
In your language, the expression before the face of his entrance, meaning “before the appearance of his entry into ministry” (See: next two notes), might seem to convey redundant information that would be not be natural to express. If so, you could abbreviate it. Alternate translation: “before he appeared” or “before he entered into his ministry”

πρὸ προσώπου τῆς εἰσόδου αὐτοῦ
before /the/_face ˱of˲_the entrance ˱of˲_him

τῆς εἰσόδου αὐτοῦ
˱of˲_the entrance ˱of˲_him

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
βάπτισμα μετανοίας παντὶ τῷ λαῷ Ἰσραήλ
/a/_baptism ˱of˲_repentance ˱to˲_all the people ˱of˲_Israel
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of repentance, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “to all the people of Israel a baptism that people received to show that they were repenting”
13:16-41 Paul accepted the invitation, motioned to quiet his audience (cp. 19:33; 21:40), and launched into a straightforward proclamation of the Good News. This is Paul’s first great speech in Acts, and it provides a model of his preaching to a Jewish audience (see 22:1-21).
