Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
ἐπικαλούμενον καὶ λέγοντα
˱who˲_calling (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐλιθοβόλουν τόν Στέφανον ἐπικαλούμενον καί λέγοντα Κύριε Ἰησοῦ δέξαι τό πνεῦμα μού)
This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The phrase calling out tells how Stephen was saying what he said. 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: [as he was saying loudly]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
δέξαι τὸ πνεῦμά μου
receive (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐλιθοβόλουν τόν Στέφανον ἐπικαλούμενον καί λέγοντα Κύριε Ἰησοῦ δέξαι τό πνεῦμα μού)
This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [please receive my spirit]
