Acts 17:20

For you are bringing some surprising things ¹  to our ears, so we want to know what they ²  mean.”

Ho 8:12; Mt 19:23-25; Mr 9:10; Mr 10:24-26; Joh 6:60; Joh 7:35,36; Ac 2:12; Ac 10:17; 1Co 1:18,23; 1Co 2:14; Heb 5:11; 1Pe 4:4

¹ tn BDAG 684 s.v. ξενίζω 2 translates the substantival participle ξενίζοντα (xenizonta) as “astonishing things Ac 17:20.”

² tn Grk “these things”; but since the referent (“surprising things”) is so close, the repetition of “these things” sounds redundant in English, so the pronoun “they” was substituted in the translation.
