Acts 25:18

When his accusers stood up, they did not charge ¹  him with any of the evil deeds I had suspected. ² 

When his accusers got up to speak, they did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected.

"When the accusers stood up, they began bringing charges against him not of such crimes as I was expecting,

But the accusations made against him weren’t at all what I expected.

"The accusers came at him from all sides,

But when they got up they said nothing about such crimes as I had in mind:

When the accusers stood up, they did not charge him with any of the crimes that I was expecting.

"When the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation against him of such things as I supposed,

When his accusers stood up, they did not charge ¹  him with any of the evil deeds I had suspected. ² 

¹ tn Grk “they brought no charge of any of the evil deeds.” BDAG 31 s.v. αἰτία 3.b has “αἰτίαν φέρειν…bring an accusation Ac 25:18.” Since κατήγοροι (kathgoroi, “accusers”) in the previous clause is somewhat redundant with this, “charge” was used instead.

² tn Or “I was expecting.”
