Acts 22:17

Acts 22:17

15 ^aFor you will be His witness to all men of ^bwhat you have seen and heard.

16 And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, ^aand wash away your sins, ^bcalling on the name of the Lord.’

17 “Now ^ait happened, when I returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance

18 and ^asaw Him saying to me, ^b‘Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, for they will not receive your testimony concerning Me.’

19 So I said, ‘Lord, ^athey know that in every synagogue I imprisoned and ^bbeat those who believe on You.

20 ^aAnd when the blood of Your martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by ^bconsenting to his death, and guarding the clothes of those who were killing him.’

<< Acts 22:16

Acts 22:18 >>

When I had returned (moi upostreyanti),

while I prayed (proseuxomenou mou),

I fell (genesqai me). Note dative moi with egeneto as in verse Acts 22:6, genitive mou (genitive absolute with proseuxomenou), accusative of general reference me with genesqai, and with no effort at uniformity, precisely as in Acts 15:22-23 which see. The participle is especially liable to such examples of anacolutha (Robertson, Grammar, p. 439).
