OET interlinear ACTs 4:29

uW Translation Notes:

καὶ τὰ νῦν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί τά νῦν Κύριε ἔπιδε ἐπί τάς ἀπειλάς αὐτῶν καί δός τοῖς δούλοις σοῦ μετά παρρησίας πάσης λαλεῖν τόν λόγον σοῦ)

The believers use the expression And now to direct God’s attention to the request they are making in light of what they have said to this point in their prayer. In your translation, use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for this same purpose.
