Word Pictures in the NT [Acts: Chapter 22]
Felix, Festus, Agrippa, and Julius" (Furneaux).
22:29 {Departed from him} (\apest•san ap' autou\). Second aorist
active indicative (intransitive) of \aphist•mi\, stood off from
him at once. {Was afraid} (\ephob•th•\). Ingressive aorist
passive indicative of \phobeomai\, became afraid. He had reason
to be. {That he was a Roman} (\hoti Romaios estin\). Indirect
assertion with tense of \estin\ retained. {Because he had bound
him} (\hoti auton •n dedek•s\). Causal \hoti\ here after
declarative \hoti\ just before. Periphrastic past perfect active
of \de•\, to bind.
22:30 {To know the certainty} (\gn•nai to asphales\). Same idiom
in 21:34 which see. {Wherefore he was accused} (\to ti
kategoreitai\). Epexegetical after to \asphales\. Note article
(accusative case) with the indirect question here as in Lu
22:1,23,24 (which see), a neat idiom in the Greek. {Commanded}
(\ekeleusen\). So the Sanhedrin had to meet, but in the Tower of
Antonia, for he brought Paul down (\katagag•n\, second aorist
active participle of \katag•\). {Set him} (\est•sen\). First
aorist active (transitive) indicative of \hist•mi\, not the
intransitive second aorist \est•\. Lysias is determined to find
out the truth about Paul, more puzzled than ever by the important
discovery that he has a Roman citizen on his hands in this
strange prisoner.
