UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

τὸ ἓν μέρος

¬the one part

Luke 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 the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [one part of the council]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἄνδρες, ἀδελφοί

men brothers

This is an idiomatic form of address. Alternate translation: [My brothers]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἄνδρες, ἀδελφοί

men brothers

Paul is using the term brothers to mean his fellow Jews. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [My kinsmen]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

υἱὸς Φαρισαίων

/the/_son ˱of˲_Pharisees

By son, Paul means both that he is the literal son of a Pharisee and that he is the descendant of a line of Pharisees. Alternate translation: [and my father and forefathers were Pharisees]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

ἐλπίδος καὶ ἀναστάσεως

/the/_hope and resurrection

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word resurrection describes what the Pharisees had hope for. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation: [the hope of the resurrection]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐλπίδος καὶ ἀναστάσεως νεκρῶν

/the/_hope and resurrection ˱of˲_/the/_dead

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of resurrection, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the hope that God will make the dead alive again]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

νεκρῶν

˱of˲_/the/_dead

Paul is using the adjective dead as a noun to mean people who have died. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [people who have died]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐγὼ κρίνομαι

I I /am_being/_judged

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: [you are judging me]

Paul Is Imprisoned for the Gospel

As the book of Acts attests, Paul was no stranger to imprisonment, and he catalogued his incarcerations among his many credentials of suffering that affirmed his legitimacy as an apostle to the Corinthians (2 Corinthians 6:4-5). The first mention of Paul being imprisoned is when he and Silas were arrested in Philippi after exorcising a spirit of divination from a slave girl (Acts 16). Paul’s actions angered the girl’s owners, since the men were no longer able to make money off of the girl’s fortune telling abilities. Later in his letter to the Corinthians, Paul notes that he had already suffered multiple imprisonments (2 Corinthians 11:23), making it clear that not all of Paul’s imprisonments and other sufferings were recorded in Scripture. The next imprisonment explicitly mentioned in Scripture is when Paul was arrested in the Temple in Jerusalem at the end of his third missionary journey (Acts 21:27-34). Soon after this Paul was sent to Caesarea on the Mediterranean coast, where he remained in prison for two years (Acts 23-26; see “Paul Is Transferred to Caesarea” map). This may be where Paul penned the letters commonly known as the Prison Epistles (Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon). At the end of this time Paul appealed his case to Caesar and was sent to Rome, where he spent another two years under house arrest awaiting his trial before Caesar (Acts 28:16-31). If Paul did not write his Prison Epistles while he was at Caesarea, then it is likely that he wrote them from Rome during this time. The next time we hear of Paul being imprisoned is likely several years later in his second letter to Timothy (2 Timothy 1:8-17; 2:9; 4:9-21). Though it is not certain, the tone of Paul’s writing during this time of imprisonment, which seems markedly more somber than the optimistic outlook he seems to have about his incarceration during the writing of the Prison Epistles (e.g., Philippians 1:21-26; Philemon 1:22), suggests that this incarceration was not the same as his house arrest. If so, then it is possible that between his first and second incarcerations in Rome Paul fulfilled his intention to travel to Spain to continue spreading the gospel (Romans 15:22-28). Just prior to his second incarceration in Rome, Paul had informed Titus that he planned to spend the winter in Nicopolis northwest of Achaia and asked him to meet him there (Titus 3:12). Perhaps it was around this time or soon after that he was arrested once again and brought to Rome. Paul’s ultimate fate is not noted in Scripture, but tradition (Clement, Dionysius, Eusebius, and Tertullian) attests that this final imprisonment of Paul took place at what is now called Mamertine Prison. During Paul’s time this was the only prison in Rome and was called simply “the Prison,” and it was not typically used for long term incarceration but rather for holding those awaiting imminent execution. There, during the reign of Nero, Paul met his earthly death by the sword and was received into eternal life by his loving Savior, whom he had served so long.
