Acts 28:22

Context
28:22 But we would like to hear from you what you think, for regarding this sect we know 1  that people 2  everywhere speak against 3  it.”

1 tn Grk “regarding this sect it is known to us.” The passive construction “it is known to us” has been converted to an active one to simplify the translation.

2 tn Grk “that everywhere it is spoken against.” To simplify the translation the passive construction “it is spoken against” has been converted to an active one with the subject “people” supplied.

3 tn On the term translated “speak against,” see BDAG 89 s.v. ἀντιλέγω 1.
