Acts 19:25

Context
19:25 He gathered 1  these 2  together, along with the workmen in similar trades, 3  and said, “Men, you know that our prosperity 4  comes from this business.

1 tn Grk “gathering.” The participle συναθροίσας (sunaqroisa") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

2 tn Grk “whom”; because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the relative pronoun (“whom”) has been replaced with a pronoun (“these”) and a new sentence begun in the translation.

3 sn Workmen in similar trades. In effect, Demetrius gathered the Ephesian chamber of commerce together to hear about the threat to their prosperity.

4 tn Another possible meaning is “that this business is an easy way for us to earn a living.”
