20:5 Luke (the writer) includes himself here.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμᾶς
˱with˲_us
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, here Luke begins to use the pronouns us and we to refer to himself and his traveling companions, but not to his readers. So use the exclusive form of those words throughout this chapter if your language marks that distinction.
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
οὗτοι
these
The pronoun they refers to the seven men who were traveling with Paul, whom Luke lists in the previous verse. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “those seven men”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἡμᾶς
˱with˲_us
Luke assumes that his readers will understand that he says us because he joined Paul and his other companions at this point in the story. You can include this information if it will help your readers understand what is happening. UST models a way to do this.
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).
OET (OET-RV) They went ahead and waited for us[fn] at Troas.
20:5 Luke (the writer) includes himself here.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
