The Key Word — διακούσομαί, diakouōgenerated
The verb διακούω means 'to hear fully' and is derived from the prefix διά and the root ἀκούω. It emphasizes a thorough and judicial hearing, suggesting a careful listening process, particularly in legal contexts.
This word is used only once in the New Testament, specifically in this verse, highlighting the formal nature of the hearing process. The governor's use of this term indicates his commitment to a fair trial.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The translations agree on the essence of the governor's statement regarding hearing the case. However, there are variations in wording, particularly regarding the terms used for 'hearing' and 'accusers'.
For instance, ASV uses 'I will hear thee fully', while BSB opts for 'I will hear your case', showing a slight difference in emphasis but maintaining the same overall meaning.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the sentence is ἔφη, meaning 'he was saying', which governs the entire statement. It is followed by a direct quotation of what the governor intends to do regarding Paul's case.
The structure includes subordinate clauses that specify the conditions under which the governor will hear the case, as well as the action he commands regarding Paul’s custody.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In Acts 23:35, the Greek word σου (su) is used to refer to 'you', corresponding to the Hebrew אַתָּ֫ה (attah), which emphasizes the personal address to the individual involved in the case.
The verb ἔφη (phēmi), meaning 'he was saying', aligns with the Hebrew נְאֻם (ne'um), indicating a formal declaration or statement. Additionally, παραγένωνται (paraginomai), meaning 'may have arrived', translates the Hebrew בּוֹא (bo), which conveys the action of coming or arriving, while φυλάσσεσθαι (phulassō), meaning 'to be guarded', corresponds to שָׁמַר (shamar), suggesting a protective custody.

He commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.—The Greek word is prætorium, a word somewhat elastic in its application, and ranging from a palace to a barrack. “Judgment hall” hardly gives the meaning here. The building had probably been intended by Herod for use as a royal residence, and was now used by the Roman procurator for himself and his troops. The Apostle had there a second experience of the life of a prætorium. At Rome he does not appear to have been in the prætorium, though the circumstances of his imprisonment brought him into contact with the soldiers who were quartered there. (Comp. Notes on…

διακούω is a verb meaning to hear throughout or to hear judicially. It is built from the prefix διά and the root ἀκούω.

It also appears in the Septuagint, indicating its historical usage in judicial matters.

φημί (phēmi) means to declare or say, often used in quoting others. It can express affirmation or assertion, and is frequently found in the New Testament, particularly in dialogue. The verb can appear in various constructions, such as with an accusative or infinitive. Notably, there is a variant reading in 2 Corinthians 10:10, where some manuscripts use φασίν instead of φησί.

The Greek word ὅταν, derived from ὅτε and ἄν, functions as a temporal particle meaning 'whenever' with a conditional sense. It is often used in the New Testament with the subjunctive mood, indicating events expected to occur in an indefinite future, as seen in verses like Matthew 5:11 and Mark 3:11. The lexicons note its usage in various contexts, including with different verb tenses.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.
καί, a conj., and; the most freq. by far of all the particles in the N. T. [On its uses see W. § 53, 3sqq.; B. 361 (310) sqq., and ef.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word κατήγορος (kātēgoros) means 'accuser' and is derived from roots meaning 'against' and 'to speak.' It appears in various contexts, including legal accusations and references to Satan in the New Testament, particularly in Revelation 12:10. While some sources note a variant form, κατήγωρ (kategōr), the primary usage remains consistent across lexicons.
κατήγωρ, 6, an accuser: Rev. xii. 10 GLTWH. It is a form unknown to Grk. writ., a literal transcription of the Hebr. 120), a name given to the devil by the Rabbins; ef. Buxtorf, Lex. Chald. talm. et rabb. p. 2009 (Ρ. 997 ed. Fischer); [Schétigen, Horae Hebr. i. p. 1121 80: ΟἿ: ΒΕ 20 {22}
κατήγωρ, which in the NT is confined to Rev 1219. occurs in the magical papyrus P Lond 124?° (iv/v A.D.) (=I. p. 122) a charm effective against all 115- ποιεῖ γὰρ πρὸς ἐχθροὺς Kal κατήγορας καὶ λῃστῶν καὶ φόβους καὶ φαντασμοὺς ὀνείρων, “for it works against enemies and accusers and robbers and terrors and dream-spectres”: see Deissmann ZAZ p- 90f., where it is argued that the word is not a Heb. adaptation of κατήγορος (so W Schm Gr. p- 85), but a Greek “*vulgarism,” formed in the same way as ῥήτωρ. Cf. also Thumb Hellen. p. 126, Radermacher Gy. p. 15, Moulton Gy. ii. § 54.

σύ is the second-person singular pronoun meaning 'you' in Greek. It has various forms: genitive σοῦ, dative σοί, and accusative σέ. The word can be used for emphasis or contrast, particularly in the New Testament, as seen in verses like Matthew 26:64. It also appears in various dialects and has enclitic forms.

παραγίνομαι is built from the components meaning 'beside' and 'to become.' It covers a range of meanings including to approach, arrive, or stand by. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in the writings of Luke and is used to describe coming to someone's side or making an appearance, as seen in verses like Luke 7:4 and Matthew 2:1.
παρα-γίνομαι
(Ion. and late for -γίγν-),

παραγίνομαι. The use of παραγίνομαι as a synonym for ἔρχομαι, which Thackeray (Gr. 1. p. 267) thinks may be of Ionic origin, is common in the LXX and later Greek generally (cf. Glaser De ratione, p. 36f.). In the NT it is mainly confined to the Lucan writings, but Harnack (Sayings of Jesus, p. 86) goes too far when he asserts that it is ‘‘a choicer (gewah//er) word than ἦλθον ᾿᾿: (cf. Lk 191618). This is true to about the same extent as it is that avrzve is ‘‘choicer” than come. In Witkowski’s collection of Ptolemaic private letters παραPart VI.

κελεύω is a verb meaning to command or order, primarily used in contexts involving authority. It can take various constructions, such as an accusative with an infinitive to indicate what is commanded. The New Testament references include Matthew and Acts, where it appears in commands given by Jesus and others. There is some variation in how lexicons describe its grammatical constructions, particularly regarding the use of dative and accusative cases.

The Greek word τέ (te) is an enclitic copulative particle that functions similarly to the Latin '-que' and is used to denote a closer connection than the more general καί (kai). It appears primarily in the New Testament, especially in the book of Acts, and can mean 'and,' 'both,' or 'also.' Notably, it is used in verses like Matthew 28:12 and Acts 2:33.
τέ, enclitic copulative particle (= Lat. -que as καί = et, ac, atque), not very freq. in NT, more than two-thirds of the occurrences being in Ac.
τέ solitarium, and, denoting a closer affinity than καί between words and sentences which it connects (Bl., §77, 8): Mt 28:12, Jo 4:42, Ac 2:33, 37, 40 10:22 11:21, al.

A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

πραιτώριον refers to a Roman governor's official residence or headquarters, derived from the Latin term 'praetorium.' It encompasses the governor's palace, as seen in several New Testament passages like Matthew 27:27 and Acts 23:35. Additionally, it can denote the camp of the praetorian guard, particularly in Philippians 1:13. Some lexicographers debate its specific meaning in Philippians, with differing interpretations regarding its reference to the guards or the broader context of the imperial household.
πραιτώριον, -ov, τό, a Lat. word, praelorium (neut. of the adj. praetorius used substantively); the word denotes 1. ‘head-quarters’ in a Roman camp, the tent of the commander-in-chief. 2. the palace in which the governor or procurator of a province resided, to which use the Romans were accustomed to appropriate the palaces already existing, and formerly dwelt in by the kings or princes (at Syracuse “illa domus praetoria, quae regis Hieronis fuit,” Cic. Verr. ii. 5, 12, 30); at Jerusalem it was that magnificent palace which Herod the Great had built for himself, and which the Roman procurators seem to have occupied whenever they came from Cwesarea to Jerusalem to transact public business: Mt. xxvii. 27; Mk. xv. 16; Jn. xviii. 28, 33; xix. 9; cf.

Praetorium
The Greek word (praitorion) thus rendered in Mark 15:16 is rendered “common hall” (Matt. 27:27, marg., “governor’s house”), “judgment hall,” (John 18:28, 33, marg., “Pilate’s house”, 19:9; Acts 23:35), “palace” (Phil. 1:13). This is properly a military word. It denotes (1) the general’s tent or headquarters; (2) the governor’s residence, as in Acts 23:35 (R.V., “palace”); and (3) the praetorian guard (See PALACE), or the camp or quarters of the praetorian cohorts (Acts 28:16), the imperial guards in…

In time of peace some one of the best buildings of the city which, was the residence of the proconsul or praetor, was selected for this purpose. Thus at Caesarea that of Herod the Great was occupied by Felix, (Acts 23:35) and at Jerusalem the new palace erected by the same prince was the residence of Pilate. After the Roman power was established in Judea, a Roman guard was always maintained in the Antonia. The praetorian camp at Rome, to which St. Paul refers, (Philemon 1:13) was erected by the emperor Tiberius…

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

her'-ud: The name Herod (Herodes) is a familiar one in the history of the Jews and of the early Christian church. The name itself signifies "heroic," a name not wholly applicable to the family, which was characterized by craft and knavery rather than by heroism. The fortunes of the Herodiam family are inseparably connected with the last flickerings of the flame of Judaism, as a national power, before it was forever extinguished in the great Jewish war of rebellion, 70 AD. The history of the Herodian family is not lacking in elements of greatness, but whatever these elements were and in whomsoever found, they were in every ease dimmed by the insufferable egotism which disfigured the family, root and branch. Some of the Herodian princes were undeniably talented; but these talents, wrongly used, left no marks for the good of the people of Israel. Of nearly all the kings of the house of…
(hero-like). This family though of Idumean origin and thus alien by race, was Jewish in faith. I. HEROD THE GREAT was the second son of Antipater, an Idumean, who was appointed procurator of Judea by Julius Caesar, B.C. 47. Immediately after his father’s elevation when only fifteen years old, he received the government of Galilee and shortly afterward that of Coele-Syria. Though Josephus says he was 15 years old at this time, it is generally conceded that there must be some mistake, as he lived to be 69 or 70 years old, and died B.C. 4; hence he must have been 25 years old at this time.--ED.) In B.C. 41 he was appointed by Antony tetrarch of Judea. Forced to abandon Judea the following year, he fled to Rome, and received the appointment of king of Judea. In the course of a few years, by the help of the Romans he took Jerusalem (B.C. 37), and completely established his authority…
The name of four princes, Idumaeans by descent, who governed either the whole or a part of Judea, under the Romans, and are mentioned in the New Testament.
1. HEROD THE GREAT, Mt 2:1-23 Lu 1:5. He was the son of Antipater, an Idumaean, who was in high favor with Julius Caesar. At the age of fifteen years, Herod was constituted by his father procurator of Galilee under Hyrcanus II, who was then at the head of the Jewish nation; while his brother Phasael was intrusted with the same authority over Judea. In these stations they were afterwards confirmed by Antony, with the title of tetrarch, about the year 41 B. C. The power of Hyrcanus had always been opposed by his brother Aristobulus; and now Antigonus, the son of the latter, continued in hostility to Herod, and was assisted by the…

φυλάσσω is built from the root idea of watching or guarding. It covers a range of meanings including to guard, protect, observe, and keep oneself from something. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts like guarding a person or thing (Acts 12:4), preserving teachings (2 Timothy 1:14), and being on one's guard (Luke 12:15). The lexicons do not show significant disagreement.

Counted over the 252 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

αὐτός, -7, -d, pron. (“derived from the particle αὖ with the added force of a demonstrative pronoun. In itself it signifies nothing more than again, applied to what has either been previously mentioned or, when the whole discourse is looked at, must necessarily be .upplied.” Klotz ad Devar. ii. p. 219; [see Vaniéek p. 268]). It is used by the bibl. writ. both of the O. T. and of the N. T. far more frequently than the other pronouns; and in this very frequent and almost inordinate use of it, they deviate greatly from prof. auth.; cf. B. § 127, 9. [On classic usage ef. Hermann, Opusce. i. 308 sqq., of which dissertation a summary is given in his edition of Viger pp- 732-736.] I. self, as used (in all persons, genders, numbers) to distinguish a person or thing from or contrast it with another, or to give him (it) emphatic prominence. ik When used to express Opposition or Distinction, it is…

Linleitung p. 145f.) Sy// 8071 (ii/A.D.) αὐταῖς ταῖς ἡμέραις, where Dittenberger remarks ‘‘expectaveris ταῖς αὐταῖς," OG/S 383!
