ACTs 8:28 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 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

τοῦ ἅρματος

the chariot

Here and in [8:29](../08/29.md) and [8:38](../08/38.md), the term chariot probably means something like “carriage.” Chariots were vehicles for war, not for long-distance travel, and people stood to ride in chariots, while this man was seated. Alternate translation, as in UST: [his carriage]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἀνεγίνωσκεν τὸν προφήτην Ἠσαΐαν

˓was˒_reading the prophet Isaiah

Luke is using the phrase the prophet Isaiah to mean the prophecies that Isaiah spoke and recorded. Alternate translation: [he was reading from the book of Isaiah]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀνεγίνωσκεν

˓was˒_reading

Since Philip was able to hear what the man was reading, as [8:30](../08/30.md) explains, the implication is that the man was reading aloud. Alternate translation: [he was reading aloud from]
