Discovery BoxActs 9:4-6 
Context9:4 He 1 fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, 2 why are you persecuting me?” 3 9:5 So he said, “Who are you, Lord?” He replied, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting! 9:6 But stand up 4 and enter the city and you will be told 5 what you must do.”
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 Or “But arise.”
5 tn Literally a passive construction, “it will be told to you.” This has been converted to another form of passive construction in the translation.
