19:40For147 we are in danger of being charged with rioting148 today, since there is no cause we can give to explain149 this disorderly gathering.”150
Footnotes
- 147 Grk “For indeed.” The ascensive force of καί (kai) would be awkward to translate here.
- 148 The term translated “rioting” refers to a revolt or uprising ( στάσις 2, 3). This would threaten Roman rule and invite Roman intervention.
- 149 Or “to account for.” Grk “since there is no cause concerning which we can give account concerning this disorderly gathering.” The complexity of the Greek relative clause (“which”) and the multiple prepositions (“concerning”) have been simplified in the translation consistent with contemporary English style.
- 150 Or “commotion.” συστροφή 1 gives the meaning “a tumultuous gathering of people, disorderly/seditious gathering or commotion … Ac 19:40.”
