Acts 22:16

Context
22:16 And now what are you waiting for? 1  Get up, 2  be baptized, and have your sins washed away, 3  calling on his name.’ 4 

1 tn L&N 67.121 has “to extend time unduly, with the implication of lack of decision – ‘to wait, to delay.’ νῦν τί μέλλεις… ἀναστὰς βάπτισαι ‘what are you waiting for? Get up and be baptized’ Ac 22:16.”

2 tn Grk “getting up.” The participle ἀναστάς (anasta") is an adverbial participle of attendant circumstance and has been translated as a finite verb.

3 sn The expression have your sins washed away means “have your sins purified” (the washing is figurative).

4 sn The expression calling on his name describes the confession of the believer: Acts 2:17-38, esp. v. 38; Rom 10:12-13; 1 Cor 1:2.
