translationNotes

• Paul continues to speak.
• Then he said - "Then Ananias said"
• his will - "what God is planning and will cause to happen"
• why are you waiting? - Alternate translation: "Do not wait!" or "Do not delay!" (UDB). This is a rhetorical question used to exhort Paul to be baptized. (See: en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_rquestion)
• 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. "ask forgiveness for your sins." (See: en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor)
