ACTs 20:34 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

αὐτοὶ γινώσκετε

yourselves ˱you_all˲_˓are˒_knowing

Paul is adding the word yourselves for emphasis. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this emphasis. Alternate translation: [You know very well]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ταῖς χρείαις μου & ὑπηρέτησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὗται

˱to˲_the needs ˱of˲_me & attended ¬the hands these

Paul is speaking of his hands as if they were a living thing that ministered to his needs, that is, worked to pay his expenses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I worked with my hands to pay my own expenses]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

καὶ τοῖς οὖσι μετ’ ἐμοῦ

and ˱to˲_the_‹ones› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: αὐτοὶ γινώσκετε ὅτι ταῖς χρείαις μου καὶ τοῖς οὖσιν μετʼ ἐμοῦ ὑπηρέτησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὗται)

Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and to the needs of those who were with me]
