Kisah Para Rasul 14:1

Paul and Barnabas at Iconium

14:1 The same thing happened in Iconium ⁵  when Paul and Barnabas ⁶  went into the Jewish synagogue ⁷  and spoke in such a way that a large group ⁸  of both Jews and Greeks believed.

1 Korintus 16:3-4

16:3 Then, when I arrive, I will send those whom you approve with letters of explanation to carry your gift to Jerusalem. ⁹  16:4 And if it seems advisable that I should go also, they will go with me.

[14:23]  ¹ sn Appointed elders. See Acts 20:17.

[14:23]  ² tn The preposition κατά (kata) is used here in a distributive sense; see BDAG 512 s.v. κατά B.1.d.

[14:23]  ³ tn Literally with a finite verb (προσευξάμενοι, proseuxamenoi) rather than a noun, “praying with fasting,” but the combination “prayer and fasting” is so familiar in English that it is preferable to use it here.

[14:23]  ⁴ tn BDAG 772 s.v. παρατίθημι 3.b has “entrust someone to the care or protection of someone” for this phrase. The reference to persecution or suffering in the context (v. 22) suggests “protection” is a better translation here. This looks at God’s ultimate care for the church.

[14:1]  ⁵ sn Iconium. See the note in 13:51.

[14:1]  ⁶ tn Grk “they”; the referents (Paul and Barnabas) have been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:1]  ⁷ sn See the note on synagogue in 6:9.

[14:1]  ⁸ tn Or “that a large crowd.”
