UTN uW Translation Notes:
οἷς καὶ παρέστησεν ἑαυτὸν ζῶντα, μετὰ τὸ παθεῖν αὐτὸν, ἐν πολλοῖς τεκμηρίοις
˱to˲_whom also ˱he˲_presented himself living after the_‹time› /to/_suffer him with many proofs
As the General Notes to this chapter suggest, it be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [Jesus also presented himself alive with many proofs to his apostles after he had suffered]
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μετὰ τὸ παθεῖν αὐτὸν
after the_‹time› /to/_suffer him
This refers to how Jesus suffered and died on the cross. Alternate translation: [after he had suffered and died on the cross]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐν πολλοῖς τεκμηρίοις
with many proofs
The word translated proofs describes items of evidence that are decisive and convincing. Alternate translation: [with many definitive proofs]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
δι’ ἡμερῶν τεσσεράκοντα, ὀπτανόμενος αὐτοῖς, καὶ λέγων
through days forty appearing ˱to˲_them and speaking
While the antecedent of whom is “the apostles whom he had chosen” in the previous verse, Jesus actually appeared to many other disciples besides his apostles. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [For 40 days he appeared to his apostles and many of his other disciples, and he spoke]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὰ περὶ τῆς Βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ
the_‹things› concerning the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God
See the discussion of the concept of the kingdom of God in Part 2 of the General Introduction to Acts. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word kingdom, you could express this with a verb such as “rule,” as UST does.
