At that time Tattenai, governor of Trans- Euphrates, and Shethar- Bozenai and their associates went to them and asked,“ Who authorized you to rebuild this temple and to finish it?”

At the same time Tattenai the governor of the province Beyond the River and Shethar-bozenai and their associates came to them and spoke to them thus:“ Who gave you a decree to build this house and to finish this structure?”

But Tattenai, governor of the province west of the Euphrates River, and Shethar bozenai and their colleagues soon arrived in Jerusalem and asked,“ Who gave you permission to rebuild this Temple and restore this structure?”

At that time Tattenai the governor of the region west of the Euphrates River, Shethar-bozenai, and their colleagues came to the Jews and asked,“ Who gave you the order to rebuild this temple and finish this structure?”

At that time Tattenai, the governor of the province beyond the Euphrates River, and Shethar bozenai and their colleagues came to them and spoke to them as follows:“ Who issued you a decree to rebuild this temple and to finish this structure?”

At the same time Tattenai the governor of the region beyond the River and Shethar-Boznai and their companions came to them and spoke thus to them:“ Who has commanded you to build this temple and finish this wall?”

At the same time came to them Tattenai, the governor beyond the River, and Shethar- bozenai, and their companions, and said thus unto them, Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?

At that time Tattenai the governor of the region west of the Euphrates River, Shethar-bozenai, and their colleagues came to the Jews and asked,“ Who gave you the order to rebuild this temple and finish this structure?”

At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai, and their companions, and said thus unto them, Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall?

At that time Tattenai governor of Trans-Euphrates, Shethar-Bozenai, and their colleagues came to them and asked,“ Who gave you authority to rebuild this temple and to complete this structure?”

At the same time Tattenai, the governor beyond the River came to them, with Shetharbozenai, and their companions, and asked them,“ Who gave you a decree to build this house, and to finish this wall?”

Tattenai, you are governor of the land west of the Euphrates River. I want you to stay away from the temple in Jerusalem. I also want you, Shethar- Bozenai, and you other officials of that area to stay away from it.

The governor Tattenai and Shethar- Bozenai carried out King Darius’s order. And so did their friends.

We asked the elders some questions. We said to them,“ Who authorized you to rebuild this temple? Who told you that you could finish it?”

Any of his people among you may go up to Jerusalem and build the Lord’ s temple. He is the God of Israel. He is the God who is in Jerusalem. And may their God be with them.

I, King Artaxerxes, also give this order. It applies to all those who are in charge of the treasures west of the Euphrates River. Make sure you provide anything Ezra the priest might ask you to give. He is the teacher of the Law of the God of heaven.

Jesus entered the temple courtyard. While he was teaching there, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him.“ By what authority are you doing these things?” they asked.“ Who gave you this authority?”

We want you to know about the people who left you and have come up to us. They have gone to Jerusalem and are rebuilding that evil city. It has caused trouble for a long time. Those people are making its walls like new again. They are repairing the foundations.

Here is a copy of the letter sent to King Darius. It was from Tattenai, the governor of the land west of the Euphrates. Shethar- Bozenai joined him in writing it. So did their friends. They were officials of that land.

They had Peter and John brought to them. They wanted to question them.“ By what power did you do this?” they asked.“ And through whose name?”

I also said to him,“ If it pleases you, may I take some letters with me? I want to give them to the governors of the land west of the Euphrates River. Then they’ll help me travel safely through their territory until I arrive in Judah.May I also have a letter to Asaph? He takes care of the royal park. I want him to give me some logs so I can make beams out of them. I want to use them for the gates of the fort that is by the temple. Some of the logs will also be used in the city wall. And I’ll need some for the house I’m going to live in.” God was kind to me and helped me. So the king gave me what I asked for.Then I went to the governors of the land west of the Euphrates River. I gave them the king’s letters. He had also sent army officers and horsemen along with me.
