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 as a tool 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.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

7:1-53 Stephen responded to the accusations by testifying about his Lord (cp. Luke 21:12-17). Instead of defending himself against their prosecution, he became a witness in God’s prosecution of them, exposing their stubbornness and unfaithfulness to God. Stephen’s recital of Israel’s past reminded them of their repeated rejections of those whom God had sent.
• Stephen’s review of Israel’s history has three principal parts, dealing with the work of the patriarchs (Acts 7:2-16), the ministry of Moses (7:17-43), and the role of the Tabernacle and the Temple (7:44-50). Stephen followed up his historical survey with a clear attack on the hard-heartedness of his own people. With a prophetic challenge, he urged them to stop rebelling against the Holy Spirit and turn to God with repentance and faith.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

οὐχὶ ἡ χείρ μου ἐποίησεν ταῦτα πάντα?

not the hand ˱of˲_me made these_‹things› all

This is the end of the quotation from the prophet Isaiah that began in verse 49. See how you marked the beginning of the quotation there. It would be appropriate to mark its ending here with a closing second-level quotation mark or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate the end of a second-level quotation. If you used special formatting to set off the quotation, you could return to regular formatting after this verse.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὐχὶ ἡ χείρ μου ἐποίησεν ταῦτα πάντα?

not the hand ˱of˲_me made these_‹things› all

God is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [My hand made all these things!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

οὐχὶ ἡ χείρ μου ἐποίησεν ταῦτα πάντα?

not the hand ˱of˲_me made these_‹things› all

God is using one part of himself, his hand, to represent all of himself in the act of creating. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or plain language. Alternate translation: [Did I not make all these things?] or, if you choose to represent the rhetorical question as an exclamation, [I made all these things!]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ταῦτα πάντα

these_‹things› all

The phrase all these things refers back to “Heaven” and “earth” in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [everything in creation]
