Acts 22:20

Context
22:20 And when the blood of your witness 1  Stephen was shed, 2  I myself was standing nearby, approving, 3  and guarding the cloaks 4  of those who were killing him.’ 5 

1 sn Now Paul referred to Stephen as your witness, and he himself had also become a witness. The reversal was now complete; the opponent had now become a proponent.

2 sn When the blood of your witness Stephen was shed means “when your witness Stephen was murdered.”

3 tn Grk “and approving.” This καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

4 tn Or “outer garments.”

sn The cloaks. The outer garment, or cloak, was taken off and laid aside to leave the arms free (in this case for throwing stones).

5 tn Or “who were putting him to death.” For the translation of ἀναιρούντων (anairountwn) as “putting to death” see BDAG 64 s.v. ἀναιρέω 2.
