TSNTyndale Study Notes:

14:8-20 Paul’s healing of a man with crippled feet recalls a similar incident in 3:1-12. In Acts, the work of Paul parallels the work of Peter, and the many miraculous signs and wonders performed among the Jews were also performed among the Gentiles.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐκ ἀμάρτυρον αὑτὸν ἀφῆκεν

not without_witness himself left

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative preposition without. Alternate translation: “he left himself a witness” or “he showed you what he was like”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

οὐρανόθεν ὑμῖν ὑετοὺς διδοὺς

from_heaven ˱to˲_you_all rains giving

It might seem that the expression rains from the sky contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you could shorten it. Alternate translation: “providing rain”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἐμπιπλῶν & τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν

filling & the hearts ˱of˲_you_all

Paul and Barnabas are using one part of these people, their hearts, meaning their desires, to mean their entire beings. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or plain language. Alternate translation: “satisfying you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

τροφῆς καὶ εὐφροσύνης

˱with˲_food and gladness

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word gladness tells how the food that God provided made these people feel. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation: “enjoyable food”
