The Key Word — ἀξιοῦμεν, axioōgenerated
The verb ἀξιόω (*axioō*) means to deem worthy or deserving of respect. It is derived from the root ἄξιος, which conveys the idea of worthiness. In this context, it indicates that the leaders consider the opinions of Paul worth listening to, despite the surrounding dissent.
The present active indicative form indicates an ongoing action, suggesting that this assessment is not just a one-time consideration but part of their current attitude towards Paul's views.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as: 'But we consider your views worth hearing, because we know that people everywhere are speaking against this sect.' This wording is consistent across several translations, including the KJV and ASV, which also express a desire to hear Paul's thoughts.
However, translations differ in how they render specific phrases. For instance, the BSB uses 'worth hearing,' while the KJV opts for 'desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest.' This reflects a variation in how the translations convey the leaders' openness to dialogue.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is governed by the verb ἀξιοῦμεν, we deem worthy, with a subordinate clause following that details what they deem worthy: ἀκοῦσαι, to hear. The structure indicates a clear relationship between their evaluation of Paul's views and their willingness to listen.
The sentence includes additional clauses that provide context, such as the reason for their interest ('because we know that people everywhere are speaking against this sect'), which adds depth to their inquiry and highlights the controversy surrounding the Christian movement.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
ἀξιόω appears in the Septuagint, where it is used in contexts that indicate worthiness or value. It is often paired with terms that highlight the importance of certain actions or beliefs, reflecting a similar sentiment to its usage in the New Testament.
The LXX does not provide a direct parallel for this specific context, but the concept of deeming something worthy is consistent throughout the texts, emphasizing the importance of respect and recognition in religious discourse.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Acts 28:22 shows Paul speaking to Jewish leaders in Rome, who express their desire to hear his views about the Christian sect. They acknowledge that there are negative opinions about this group circulating everywhere, indicating a willingness to engage in discussion despite the controversy.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
To deem something worthy means to consider it deserving of respect or attention, as the Jewish leaders do with Paul's views.
They are interested because they are aware of the controversy surrounding the Christian sect and want to understand differing perspectives.
The term 'sect' refers to a group with distinct beliefs, often in opposition to mainstream views, highlighting the divisive nature of early Christianity.
This verse illustrates a complex relationship where Jewish leaders are open to dialogue with Paul, despite the prevailing negative sentiments about Christians.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- How can I approach conversations about differing beliefs with openness and respect?
- What are some contemporary 'sects' or groups that face similar scrutiny, and how can we engage with them?
- In what ways can understanding others' perspectives enrich our own faith?
- How do we balance our beliefs with the need for respectful dialogue in a diverse society?

The Greek word ἀξιόω (i.e., *axioō*) means to deem worthy or deserving. It is built from the root ἄξιος and covers a range of meanings, including to think fit or to require. In the New Testament, it appears in verses like Luke 7:7 and Acts 15:38. The lexicons agree on its core meanings, focusing on the idea of worthiness.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

παρά is a preposition that conveys the idea of proximity, meaning 'beside' or 'from the side of.' It can take the genitive, dative, or accusative case, indicating source, location, or motion towards something. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts involving relationships, such as 'his family' (Mk 3:21) or 'from God' (Jn 9:16). The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its usage.

The Greek word ἀκούω, transliterated as akouo, means 'to hear' or 'to listen.' It covers a range of meanings from simply hearing sounds to understanding and obeying what is said. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, including commands to listen (e.g., Mk 4:3) and references to understanding (e.g., 1 Cor 14:2). The lexicons do not show significant disagreement.

ὅς is a pronoun meaning 'who,' 'which,' 'what,' or 'that.' It serves as both a demonstrative and a relative pronoun, agreeing in gender with its antecedent. The New Testament uses it in various constructions, including phrases like ὃς μὲν... ὃς δέ to indicate contrasting subjects. Notably, it can express purpose or cause in certain contexts.

The Greek word φρονέω (phroneo) is built from the root meaning 'mind' and encompasses thinking, understanding, and being disposed in a certain way. It appears in various contexts, such as having opinions, being mindful, or directing one's thoughts towards specific matters. In the New Testament, it is notably used in Romans, Philippians, and Corinthians to express concepts of mindset and intention.

The Greek word μέν is a particle that typically indicates a contrast with a following clause, often paired with δέ. It can express certainty or affirmation, but is frequently left untranslated. In the New Testament, it appears in various constructions, such as ὁ μὲν ... ὁ δέ (the one ... the other) and τοῦτο μὲν ... τοῦτο δέ (partly ... partly). Its usage is less common than in classical Greek.
μέν,
conjunctive particle (originally a form of μήν), usually related to a following δέ or other adversative conjunction, and distinguishing the word or clause with which it stands from that which follows.
It is generally untranslatable and is not nearly so frequent in NT as in cl. Like δέ, it never stands first in a clause.
μέν, a weakened form of μήν, and hence properly a particle of affirmation: truly, certainly, surely, indeed, —its affirmative force being weakened, yet retained most in Ionic, Epic, and Herodotus, and not wholly lost in Attic and Hellenistic writers (μέν ‘confirmative’; ef. 4 Mace. xviii. 18). Owing to this its original meaning it adds a certain force to the terms and phrases with which it is connected, and thus contrasts them with or distinguishes ther. from others. Accordingly it takes on the character of a concessive and very often of a merely distinctive particle, which stands related to a following δέ or other adversative conjunction, either expressed or understood, and in a sentence composed of several members is so placed as to point out the first member, to which a second, marked by an adversative particle, is added or opposed. It corresponds to the Lat. quidem, indeed, Germ.…

μέν,

__A.I μέν used absolutely to express certainty, not followed by correlative δέ, indeed, of a truth, synonymous with μήν, as appears from the Epic dialect and Ionic dialect form ἦ μέν in protestations and oaths (where Attic dialect used ἦ μήν), καί μοι ὄμοσσον, ἦ μ. μοι πρόφρων ἔπεσιν καὶ χερσὶν ἀρήξειν [Refs 8th c.BC+]: also in Trag., ἀκτὴ μὲν ἥδε τῆς περιρρύτου χθονός [Refs 8th c.BC+]; γε μέν, compare γε [Refs]

Generally, μέν and δέ may be rendered on the one hand, on the other hand, or as well . . , as, while or whereas, but it is often necessary to leave μέν untranslated.
μέν is not always answered by δέ, but by other equiv. Particles, as ἀλλά, ἀτάρ or αὐτάρ, αὖ, αὖθις, αὖτε; also πρῶτον μέν, εἶτα Soph.; πρῶτον μέν, ἔπειτα id. Soph.; πρῶτον μέν, μετὰ τοῦτο Xen.
the answering clause with δέ is sometimes left to be supplied, ὡς μὲν λέγουσι as indeed they say, (but as I believe not), Eur.; this isolated μέν is often a Pron., ἐγὼ μὲν οὐκ οἶδα I for my part, (whatever others may say), Xen.; οὗτος μέν Plat.

The Greek word γάρ (gar) is a coordinating particle primarily used to introduce reasons or explanations, similar to 'for' in English. It can serve various functions, including causal, explicative, and conclusive, and is often placed after the first word in a clause. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts that clarify or justify preceding statements, aligning with its classical usage.
γάρ, a conjunction, which ace. to its composition, γέ and dpa (i. 4. ἄρ), is properly a particle of affirmation and conclusion, denoting truly therefore, verily as the case stands, “ the thing is first aflirmed by the particle yé, and then is referred to what precedes by the force of the particle dpa” (Klotz ad Devar. ii. 1, p. 232; οἵ. Kiihner ii. p. 724; [Jelf § 786; W. 445 (415) sq-]). Now since by a new affirmation not infrequently the reason and nature of something previously mentioned are set forth, it comes to pass that, by the use of this particle, either the reason and cause of a foregoing statement is added, whence arises the causal or argumentative force of the particle, for (Lat. nam, enim; Germ. denn) ; or some previous declaration is explained, whence γάρ takes on an ex plicative force: YP Sor, the fact is, namely (Lat. videlicet, Germ. ndmilich). Thus the force of the…

The first has been claimed as stating the substitutionary nature of Christ's sacrifice as contrasted with huper and peri, more frequently used of it.

The Greek word αἵρεσις (i.e., *hairesis*) is derived from αἱρέω (i.e., *haireo*), meaning choice or taking. It encompasses the idea of a chosen opinion, often implying a sect or faction, particularly in religious contexts, such as the Pharisees and Sadducees. In the New Testament, it is used to denote heresy or divisions arising from differing beliefs.

sekt (hairesis): "Sect" (Latin, secta, from sequi, "to follow") is in the New Testament the translation of hairesis, from haireo, "to take," "to choose"; also translated "heresy," not heresy in the later ecclesiastical sense, but a school or party, a sect, without any bad meaning attached to it. The word is applied to schools of philosophy; to the Pharisees and Sadducees among the Jews who adhered to a common religious faith and worship; and to the Christians. It is translated "sect" (Ac 5:17, of the Sadducees; Ac 15:5, of the Pharisees; Ac 24:5, of the Nazarenes; Ac 26:5, of the Pharisees; Ac 28:22, of the Christians)…
Sect
(Gr. hairesis, usually rendered “heresy”, Acts 24:14; 1 Chr. 11:19; Gal. 5:20, etc.), meaning properly “a choice,” then “a chosen manner of life,” and then “a religious party,” as the “sect” of the Sadducees (Acts 5:17), of the Pharisees (15:5), the Nazarenes, i.e., Christians (24:5). It afterwards came to be used in a bad sense, of those holding pernicious error, divergent forms of belief (2 Pet. 2:1; Gal. 5:20).
From a Latin word answering to the Greek word hoeresis, which latter our translators have in some places rendered "sect," in others "heresy." As used in the New Testament, it implies neither approbation nor censure of the persons to whom it is applied, or of their opinions, Ac 5:17 15:5. Among the Jews, there were four sects, distinguished by their practices and opinions, yet united in communion with each other and with the body of their nation: namely, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the Essenes, and the Herodians. Christianity was originally considered as a new sect of Judaism; hence Tertullus, accusing Paul before Felix, says that he was chief of the seditious sect of the Nazarenes, Ac 24:5; and the Jews of Rome said to the apostle, when he arrived in this city, "As…

The Greek word οὗτος (i.e., *houtos*) is a demonstrative pronoun meaning 'this' or 'this one.' It is used to refer to something nearby or recently mentioned, often with a connotation of contempt in certain contexts. In the New Testament, it appears in various forms, such as in Matthew 3:17 and John 1:15, and can also serve to emphasize or clarify a subject.

The Greek word γνωστός (i.e., *gnostos*) means 'known' or 'well-known' and is derived from the verb γιγνώσκω (i.e., *gignōskō*). It covers a range of meanings including notable or certain, and can refer to acquaintances in the plural form. The New Testament uses it in contexts such as Acts and John, often to describe people or things that are recognized or familiar.

The New Testament frequently uses it in passages like John 1:1 and Matthew 24:3. Notably, it can also express possibility, as seen in Hebrews 9:5.

The Greek word ὅτι (hoti) is a conjunction primarily meaning 'that' or 'because.' It introduces objective clauses, often following verbs of perception or declaration, and can also serve as a causal particle. The New Testament frequently employs it in this way, such as in Matthew 5:4-12. There is some variation in how lexicons describe its usage, particularly regarding its pleonastic function in direct discourse.

The Greek word πανταχοῦ (*pantachou*) is an adverb meaning 'everywhere' or 'in all places.' It appears in various New Testament verses, including Mark 16:20 and Luke 9:6. The word is derived from a presumed form related to the word for 'all' and covers the idea of universality in location. Moulton & Milligan also reference its use in ancient texts.
πανταχοῦ, ““everywhere ”: PSI IV. 3825 (B.c. 248-7) ξύλα ἐζητήκαμεν πανταχοῦ, BGU IV. 1125!" (B.c. 13) κύρια] τὰ διωμολογημένα πανταχοῦ, and 76. III. 942° (A.p. 240) κυρία ἡ ἐπὶ λόγου ἀποχὴ πανταχοῦ ἐπιφερομένη ὡς ἐν δημοσίῳ κατακεχωρισμένη.

The Greek word ἀντιλέγω (i.e., *antilegō*) is composed of the prefix ἀντι- meaning 'against' and λέγω meaning 'to speak.' It covers meanings such as to contradict, oppose, or dispute. The New Testament uses it in contexts of speaking against others, notably in Acts and Romans. There is some variation in how lexicons present its nuances, particularly regarding its strength in different contexts.

προγεγραμμένης αὐλῆς σταθέντες ἐγδικήσομεν καὶ καθαροποιήσομεν ἀπὸ παντὸς ἀντιποιουμένου τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀναλώμασιν κατὰ μηδὲν ἀντιλεγόντες, πίστεως ἐπηρωτημένης καὶ ἀνθωμολογημένης.
τὰς τιμὰς ἃς ἀνέσχετο διʼ ἐνιαυτοῦ ταῦτα ἑαυτῷ φυλαχθῆναι . Λιβερᾶλις ἐπύθετο· μή τις ἀντιλέγει; μηδενὸς ἀντειπόντος Λιβερᾶλις εἶπεν· ἕξει τὰς τιμάς. ἔτους ιθ Θεοῦ Αἰλίου Ἀντωνίνου … ιϛ.
