# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Paul finishes telling what had happened to him in Damascus. He quotes what Ananias said to him. This is still part of his speech to the crowd in Jerusalem.
|
|
|
|
# General Information:
|
|
|
|
The word "he" refers to Ananias. (See: [Acts 22:12](./12.md))
|
|
|
|
# his will
|
|
|
|
"what God is planning and will cause to happen"
|
|
|
|
# to hear the voice coming from his own mouth
|
|
|
|
Both "voice" and "mouth" refer to the one speaking. AT: "to hear him speak directly to you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])
|
|
|
|
# to all men
|
|
|
|
Here "men" means all people whether male or female. AT: "to all people" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations]])
|
|
|
|
# Now
|
|
|
|
Here "now" does not mean "at this moment," but is used to draw attention to the important point that follows.
|
|
|
|
# why are you waiting?
|
|
|
|
This question was asked to exhort Paul to be baptized. AT: "Do not wait!" or "Do not delay!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
|
|
|
|
# be baptized
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. AT: "let me baptize you" or "receive baptism" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
|
|
|
|
# wash away your sins
|
|
|
|
As washing one's body removes dirt, calling on the name of Jesus for forgiveness cleanses one's inner being from sin. AT: "ask forgiveness for your sins" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# calling on his name
|
|
|
|
Here "name" refers to the Lord. AT: "calling on the Lord" or "trusting in the Lord"
