21:4After we located17 the disciples, we stayed there18 seven days. They repeatedly told19 Paul through the Spirit20 not to set foot21 in Jerusalem.22
Footnotes
- 17 ἀνευρίσκω has “look/search for (w. finding presupposed) τινά … τοὺς μαθητάς Ac 21:4.” The English verb “locate,” when used in reference to persons, has the implication of both looking for and finding someone. The participle ἀνευρόντες (aneurontes) has been taken temporally.
- 18 αὐτοῦ states, “deictic adv. designating a position relatively near or far … there … Ac 21:4.”
- 19 The imperfect verb ἕλεγον (elegon) has been taken iteratively.
- 20 Although they told this to Paul through the Spirit, it appears Paul had a choice here (see v. 14). Therefore this amounted to a warning: There was risk in going to Jerusalem, so he was urged not to go.
- 21 ἐπιβαίνω places Ac 21:4 under 1, “go up/upon, mount, board … πλοίῳ … Ac 27:2 … go on board, embark … 21:1 D, 2.—So perh. also ἐ. εἰς Ἰεροσόλυμα embark for Jerusalem (i.e. to the seaport of Caesarea) vs. 4.” notes, however, “But this pass. may also belong to 2. to move to an area and be there, set foot in.” Because the message from the disciples to Paul through the Holy Spirit has the character of a warning, the latter meaning has been adopted for this translation.
