26:1-23 In his eloquent defense before King Agrippa, Paul argued that his preaching was completely consistent with the Jewish faith. The defense begins with a courteous acknowledgement of Agrippa’s competence to hear the evidence (26:2-3), outlines the nature of Paul’s background, Jewish training, and membership in the Pharisees (26:4-5), and explains that the charges against him are merely for believing the fulfillment of Jewish hopes for the resurrection (26:6-8). Paul then tells the story of his conversion from strong opponent of Christianity (26:9-11) through a vision on the way to Damascus (26:12-18; see 9:1-18). His preaching was nothing more than obeying this divine vision (26:19-20). Even though he encountered violent opposition from his fellow Jews (26:21), God protected him as he taught a message that the Jews should have embraced (26:22-23). This defense is a model for Christians put on trial for their faith (see 9:15; Luke 21:12-15).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸ δωδεκάφυλον ἡμῶν
the twelve_tribes ˱of˲_us
Paul is referring to the people of Israel by association with the way that nation was historically composed of 12 tribes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “our Jewish people”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
τὸ δωδεκάφυλον ἡμῶν
the twelve_tribes ˱of˲_us
By our, Paul means himself and his fellow Jews but not Agrippa to whom he is speaking, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐν ἐκτενείᾳ & λατρεῦον
in earnestness & serving
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of earnestness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “serving earnestly”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / merism
νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν
night and day
Paul is using the two parts of a full day, night and day, to refer to continuous activity throughout a full day. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “continually” or, if you translated serving in earnestness as “serving earnestly”: “and continually”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐνκαλοῦμαι ὑπὸ Ἰουδαίων
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἰς ἣν τὸ δωδεκάφυλον ἡμῶν ἐν ἐκτενείᾳ νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν λατρεῦον ἐλπίζει καταντῆσαι περὶ ἧς ἐλπίδος ἐγκαλοῦμαι ὑπὸ Ἰουδαίων Βασιλεῦ)
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: “the Jews are accusing me”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
ὑπὸ Ἰουδαίων
by /the/_Jews
Paul is using the name of a whole group, the Jews, to refer to some members of that group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “by these Jewish leaders”
