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).
Note 1 topic: writing-participants
τις ἀνὴρ εὐλαβὴς
/a/_certain man devout
Paul is using the phrase a certain devout man to introduce Ananias as a new participant in his story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you could use it here in your translation.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
μαρτυρούμενος ὑπὸ πάντων τῶν κατοικούντων Ἰουδαίων
/being/_attested by all the dwelling_‹there› Jews
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “whom all the Jews there attested” or “of whom all the Jews there spoke well”
