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: grammar-connect-logic-result

καὶ

and

Luke is using the word translated And to introduce what the men who came up to Peter and John did because they were so troubled by their teaching. Alternate translation: “So”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐπέβαλον αὐτοῖς τὰς χεῖρας

˱they˲_laid_on ˱on˲_them their hands

The pronoun they refers to the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees. The pronoun them refers to Peter and John. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees laid hands on Peter and John” or “the men who had come up to Peter and John laid hands on them”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐπέβαλον αὐτοῖς τὰς χεῖρας

˱they˲_laid_on ˱on˲_them their hands

The expression laid hands on means to arrest someone by association with the way that arresting officers might physically take hold of a person with their hands. Alternate translation: “they arrested them”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἔθεντο εἰς τήρησιν

˱they˲_put_‹them› in jail

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word custody, you could express the same idea with a verb such as “imprison.” Alternate translation: “they imprisoned them”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἦν γὰρ ἑσπέρα ἤδη

˱it˲_was for evening already

The implication is that the ruling council, which Luke describes in 4:5–6, would not meet to question anyone at night. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “since it was already evening and the council would not meet to question them at night”
