Acts 9:4

Context
9:4 He 1  fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, 2  why are you persecuting me?” 3 

Acts 22:7

Context
22:7 Then I 4  fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’

1 tn Grk “and he.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun.

2 tn The double vocative suggests emotion.

3 sn Persecuting me. To persecute the church is to persecute Jesus.

4 tn This is a continuation of the same sentence in Greek using the connective τέ (te), but due to the length and complexity of the Greek sentence a new sentence was begun in the translation here. To indicate the logical sequence for the modern English reader, τέ was translated as “then.”
