Acts 9:24

but Saul learned of their plot against him. ¹  They were also watching ²  the city gates ³  day and night so that they could kill him.

Jud 16:2,3; Ps 21:11; Ps 37:32,33; Ac 9:29,30; Ac 14:5,6; Ac 17:10-15; Ac 23:12-21; Ac 25:3,11; 2Co 11:32

¹ tn The words “against him” are implied, as suggested by L&N 30.71.

² tn Or “guarding.” This is a negative term in Luke-Acts (Luke 6:7; 14:1; 20:20).

³ tn The word πύλη (pulh) may refer to a house door or gate, or to the large gates used in a palace, temple, or city wall. Here the context clearly indicates a reference to the latter, so the translation “city gates” is used.
