ACTs 24:20 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 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 / imperative3p

αὐτοὶ οὗτοι εἰπάτωσαν

themselves these /let/_say

If your language does not use the third-person imperative in this way, you could state this in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “may these themselves say” or “these themselves should say”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοὶ οὗτοι

themselves these

These pronouns refer to the Jewish leaders who have come to Caesarea to accuse Paul. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “these Jewish leaders who have come here”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

στάντος μου ἐπὶ τοῦ Συνεδρίου

/having/_stood ˱of˲_me before the Sanhedrin

Paul is referring to what he said to the Sanhedrin to defend himself by association with the way he stood in front of the council as he said it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “when I defended myself at a meeting of the Sanhedrin”
