OET interlinear ACTs 16:29

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

αἰτήσας & φῶτα

˓having˒_requested & lights

Luke assumes that his readers will understand that the jailer called for lights because it was midnight and dark, and he wanted to be sure that his prisoners were still in the prison. You can include this information if your readers need it to understand this sentence. UST models a way to do this.

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

προσέπεσεν τῷ Παύλῳ καὶ Σιλᾷ

˱he˲_fell_before ¬the ˱to˲_Paul (Some words not found in SR-GNT: αἰτήσας Δέ φῶτα εἰσεπήδησεν καί ἔντρομος γενόμενος προσέπεσεν τῷ Παύλῳ καί Σίλᾳ)

Be sure that it is clear in your translation that the jailer did not fall down accidentally. He knelt down at the feet of Paul and Silas as a gesture to honor them. Alternate translation: [he knelt down respectfully in front of Paul and Silas]
