22:21

Then: The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as Then is most often translated in English as “and.” For example:

And (Revised Standard Version)

There is some contrast between Paul’s implying that he wanted to stay in Jerusalem (22:19–20) and what Jesus said here. For example:

But (New Living Translation (2004))

Go!: This word refers to leaving Jerusalem (22:18b). Other ways to translate this word are:

Depart (Revised Standard Version)
-or-
Leave (New Century Version)

I will send you: The Greek conjunction often translated “because” or “for” introduces this clause. It either introduces a reason or a explanation. For example:

because I will send you
-or-
for I will send you (Revised Standard Version)

Some English versions allow the context to indicate the connection and omit the conjunction, as the Berean Standard Bible does.

the Gentiles: The word Gentiles refers to non-Jewish people. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

non-Jewish people (God’s Word)
-or-
those who are not Jews

See how you translated this phrase in 4:27 or 21:19.
