Acts 22:10-11

22:10 So I asked, ¹  ‘What should I do, Lord?’ The Lord said to me, ‘Get up ²  and go to Damascus; there you will be told about everything ³  that you have been designated ⁴  to do.’ 22:11 Since I could not see because of ⁵  the brilliance ⁶  of that light, I came to Damascus led by the hand of ⁷  those who were with me.

¹ tn Grk “So I said.”

² tn Grk “Getting up.” The participle ἀναστάς (anasta") is an adverbial participle of attendant circumstance and has been translated as a finite verb.

³ tn Grk “about all things.”

⁴ tn Or “assigned,” “ordered.” BDAG 991 s.v. τάσσω 2.a has “act. and pass., foll. by acc. w. inf.…περὶ πάντων ὧν τέτακταί σοι ποιῆσαι concerning everything that you have been ordered to do 22:10.” There is an allusion to a divine call and commission here.

⁵ tn BDAG 106 s.v. ἀπό 5.a has “οὐκ ἐνέβλεπον ἀπὸ τῆς δόξης τοῦ φωτός I could not see because of the brilliance of the light Ac 22:11.”

⁶ tn Or “brightness”; Grk “glory.”

⁷ tn Grk “by” (ὑπό, Jupo), but this would be too awkward in English following the previous “by.”
