Acts 26:22

26:22 I have experienced 1  help from God to this day, and so I stand testifying to both small and great, saying nothing except 2  what the prophets and Moses said 3  was going to happen:

Acts 26:27

26:27 Do you believe the prophets, 4  King Agrippa? 5  I know that you believe.”

1 tn Grk “So experiencing…I stand.” The participle τυχών (tucwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

2 tn BDAG 311 s.v. ἐκτός 3.b, “functions as prep. w. gen. οὐδὲν ἐ. ὧν nothing except what (cf. 1 Ch 29:3; 2 Ch 17:19; TestNapht. 6:2) Ac 26:22.”

3 sn What the prophets and Moses said. Paul argued that his message reflected the hope of the Jewish scriptures.

4 sn “Do you believe the prophets?” Note how Paul made the issue believing the OT prophets and God’s promise which God fulfilled in Christ. He was pushing King Agrippa toward a decision not for or against Paul’s guilt of any crime, but concerning Paul’s message.

5 sn See the note on King Agrippa in 25:13.
