Acts 16:19

Context
16:19 But when her owners 1  saw their hope of profit 2  was gone, they seized 3  Paul and Silas and dragged 4  them into the marketplace before the authorities.

1 tn Or “masters.”

2 tn On this use of ἐργασία (ergasia), see BDAG 390 s.v. 4. It is often the case that destructive practices and commerce are closely tied together.

3 tn Grk “was gone, seizing.” The participle ἐπιλαβόμενοι (epilabomenoi) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

4 tn On the term ἕλκω ({elkw) see BDAG 318 s.v. 1.
