Acts 14:16

Context
14:16 In 1  past 2  generations he allowed all the nations 3  to go their own ways,

Acts 28:16

Context
28:16 When we entered Rome, Paul was allowed to live 4  by himself, with the soldier who was guarding him.

1 tn Grk “them, who in.” The relative pronoun (“who”) was replaced by the pronoun “he” (“In past generations he”) and a new sentence was begun in the translation at this point to improve the English style, due to the length of the sentence in Greek and the awkwardness of two relative clauses (“who made the heaven” and “who in past generations”) following one another.

2 tn On this term see BDAG 780 s.v. παροίχομαι. The word is a NT hapax legomenon.

3 tn Or “all the Gentiles” (in Greek the word for “nation” and “Gentile” is the same). The plural here alludes to the variety of false religions in the pagan world.

4 tn Or “to stay.”

sn Allowed to live by himself. Paul continued to have a generous prison arrangement (cf. Acts 27:3).
