Acts 23:19

Context
23:19 The commanding officer 1  took him by the hand, withdrew privately, and asked, “What is it that you want 2  to report to me?”

1 tn Grk “the chiliarch” (an officer in command of a thousand soldiers). See note on the term “commanding officer” in v. 10.

2 tn Grk “you have,” but the expression “have to report” in English could be understood to mean “must report” rather than “possess to report.” For this reason the nearly equivalent expression “want to report,” which is not subject to misunderstanding, was used in the translation.
