Acts 9:29

Context
9:29 He was speaking and debating 1  with the Greek-speaking Jews, 2  but they were trying to kill him.

Acts 26:21

Context
26:21 For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple courts 3  and were trying to kill me.

1 tn Or “arguing.” BDAG 954 s.v. συζητέω 2 gives “dispute, debate, argueτινί ‘w. someone’” for συνεζήτει (sunezhtei).

2 tn Grk “the Hellenists,” but this descriptive term is largely unknown to the modern English reader. The translation “Greek-speaking Jews” attempts to convey something of who these were, but it was more than a matter of language spoken; it involved a degree of adoption of Greek culture as well.

3 tn Grk “in the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.
