TSNTyndale Study Notes:

22:1-21 Paul’s premier defense of his life and faith before his own people in Jerusalem illustrates his flexibility as a missionary, just as his speech to the Greek philosophers in Athens had done (17:22-31; see 1 Cor 9:20-23). Paul begins by recognizing his kinship with his people, explaining his Jewish background and training under the noted rabbi Gamaliel the Elder and describing his zealous desire to honor God in everything, which they shared (Acts 22:1-3). Paul then describes his persecution of Christians (22:4-5), the revelation of Jesus to him on the way to Damascus (22:6-10), and his conversion (22:11-16). Paul ends his speech by describing his conversation with the Lord in the Temple. The Lord had predicted the Jews’ rejection of the message and had sent Paul to the Gentiles (22:17-21).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἄνδρες, ἀδελφοὶ καὶ πατέρες

men brothers and fathers

This is an idiomatic form of address. Use a way that is natural in your language to refer to a particular group of people. Alternate translation: [You brothers and fathers of mine]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἄνδρες, ἀδελφοὶ καὶ πατέρες

men brothers and fathers

Paul is using the word brothers to refer to his fellow Israelites. He is using the word fathers to refer either to Jewish leaders who may be present or to Jewish men who are older than he is. In both cases he is speaking respectfully. Alternate translation: [My fellow Israelites and you leaders of Israel] or [My fellow Israelites young and old]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

ἀκούσατέ μου τῆς πρὸς ὑμᾶς νυνὶ

hear ˱of˲_me ¬which to you_all now

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [please listen as I explain myself]
