16:10 we: The most natural interpretation of the shift from “they” to “we” is that Luke accompanied Paul from Troas to Philippi (16:10-17). Later Luke joined Paul again at Philippi and sailed with him to Troas, then to Miletus (20:5-15), then from Miletus to Jerusalem (21:1-18). After Paul’s two-year imprisonment in Caesarea, Luke traveled with him to Rome (27:1–28:16).
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
εἶδεν
˱he˲_saw
The pronoun he refers to Paul. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “Paul had seen”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐζητήσαμεν & προσκέκληται ἡμᾶς ὁ Θεὸς
˱we˲_sought & /has/_called_to us ¬the God
Luke assumes that his readers will understand that he says we and us because he joined Paul and his other companions at this point in the story. You can include this information if your readers need it to understand what is happening. UST models a way to do this.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἐζητήσαμεν & προσκέκληται ἡμᾶς ὁ Θεὸς
˱we˲_sought & /has/_called_to us ¬the God
Luke is using the pronouns we and us to refer to himself and his traveling companions, but not to his readers, so use the inclusive form of that word if your language marks that distinction.
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτούς
them
The pronoun them refers to the people of Macedonia. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “to the people of Macedonia”
