Acts 1:22

Context
1:22 beginning from his baptism by John until the day he 1  was taken up from us – one of these must become a witness of his resurrection together with us.”

Acts 22:20

Context
22:20 And when the blood of your witness 2  Stephen was shed, 3  I myself was standing nearby, approving, 4  and guarding the cloaks 5  of those who were killing him.’ 6 

1 tn Here the pronoun “he” refers to Jesus.

2 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.

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

4 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.

5 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).

6 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.
