Acts 6:12

Context
6:12 They incited the people, the 1  elders, and the experts in the law; 2  then they approached Stephen, 3  seized him, and brought him before the council. 4 

1 tn Grk “and the,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

2 tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 4:5.

3 tn Grk “approaching, they seized him”; the referent (Stephen) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

4 tn Or “the Sanhedrin” (the highest legal, legislative, and judicial body among the Jews). Stephen suffers just as Peter and John did.
