9:15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, because this man is my chosen instrument ⁴  to carry my name before Gentiles and kings and the people of Israel. ⁵  9:16 For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.” ⁶  9:17 So Ananias departed and entered the house, placed ⁷  his hands on Saul ⁸  and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came here, ⁹  has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” ¹⁰

Kisah Para Rasul 6:1

The Appointment of the First Seven Deacons

6:1 Now in those ¹³  days, when the disciples were growing in number, ¹⁴  a complaint arose on the part of the Greek-speaking Jews ¹⁵  against the native Hebraic Jews, ¹⁶  because their widows ¹⁷  were being overlooked ¹⁸  in the daily distribution of food. ¹⁹

[16:1]  map For location see Map4 G4; Map5 C1; Map6 E3; Map7 D1; Map8 G3.

[9:15]  ⁴ tn Or “tool.”

[9:15]  ⁵ tn Grk “the sons of Israel.” In Acts, Paul is a minister to all nations, including Israel (Rom 1:16-17).

[9:16]  ⁶ tn Or “because of my name.” BDAG 1031 s.v. ὑπέρ 2 lists Acts 9:16 as an example of ὑπέρ (Juper) used to indicate “the moving cause or reason, because of, for the sake of, for.”

[9:17]  ⁷ tn Grk “and placing his hands on Saul, he said.” The participle ἐπιθείς (epiqei") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. For the same reason καί (kai) has not been translated before the participle.

[9:17]  ⁸ tn Grk “on him”; the referent (Saul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:17]  ⁹ tn Grk “on the road in which you came,” but the relative clause makes for awkward English style, so it was translated as a temporal clause (“as you came here”).

[9:17]  ¹⁰ sn Be filled with the Holy Spirit. Here someone who is not an apostle (Ananias) commissions another person with the Spirit.

[9:1]  ¹¹ tn Or “Saul, making dire threats.”

[9:1]  ¹² tn The expression “breathing out threats and murder” is an idiomatic expression for “making threats to murder” (see L&N 33.293). Although the two terms “threats” and “murder” are syntactically coordinate, the second is semantically subordinate to the first. In other words, the content of the threats is to murder the disciples.

[6:1]  ¹³ tn Grk “these.” The translation uses “those” for stylistic reasons.

[6:1]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “were multiplying.”

[6:1]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “the Hellenists,” but this descriptive term is largely unknown to the modern English reader. The translation “Greek-speaking Jews” attempts to convey something of who these were, but it was more than a matter of language spoken; it involved a degree of adoption of Greek culture as well.

[6:1]  sn The Greek-speaking Jews were the Hellenists, Jews who to a greater or lesser extent had adopted Greek thought, customs, and lifestyle, as well as the Greek language. The city of Alexandria in Egypt was a focal point for them, but they were scattered throughout the Roman Empire.

[6:1]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “against the Hebrews,” but as with “Hellenists” this needs further explanation for the modern reader.

[6:1]  ¹⁷ sn The care of widows is a major biblical theme: Deut 10:18; 16:11, 14; 24:17, 19-21; 26:12-13; 27:19; Isa 1:17-23; Jer 7:6; Mal 3:5.

[6:1]  ¹⁸ tn Or “neglected.”

[6:1]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “in the daily serving.”

[6:1]  sn The daily distribution of food. The early church saw it as a responsibility to meet the basic needs of people in their group.
