Acts 14:18

Context
14:18 Even by saying 1  these things, they scarcely persuaded 2  the crowds not to offer sacrifice to them.

1 tn The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is regarded as indicating means.

2 tn BDAG 524 s.v. καταπαύω 2.b gives both “restrain” and “dissuade someone fr. someth.,” but “they scarcely dissuaded the crowds from offering sacrifice,” while accurate, is less common in contemporary English than saying “they scarcely persuaded the crowds not to offer sacrifice.” Paganism is portrayed as a powerful reality that is hard to reverse.
