Kisah Para Rasul 1:8

1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest parts ¹  of the earth.”

Kisah Para Rasul 1:22

1:22 beginning from his baptism by John until the day he ²  was taken up from us – one of these must become a witness of his resurrection together with us.”

Kisah Para Rasul 2:32

2:32 This Jesus God raised up, and we are all witnesses of it. ³ 

Kisah Para Rasul 3:15

3:15 You killed ⁴  the Originator ⁵  of life, whom God raised ⁶  from the dead. To this fact we are witnesses! ⁷ 

Kisah Para Rasul 5:32

5:32 And we are witnesses of these events, ⁸  and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey ⁹  him.”

Kisah Para Rasul 10:39

10:39 We ¹⁰  are witnesses of all the things he did both in Judea ¹¹  and in Jerusalem. ¹²  They ¹³  killed him by hanging him on a tree, ¹⁴ 

[1:8]  ¹ tn Or “to the ends.”

[1:22]  ² tn Here the pronoun “he” refers to Jesus.

[2:32]  ³ tn Or “of him”; Grk “of which [or whom] we are all witnesses” (Acts 1:8).

[3:15]  ⁴ tn Or “You put to death.”

[3:15]  ⁵ tn Or “Founder,” “founding Leader.”

[3:15]  ⁶ sn Whom God raised. God is the main actor here, as he testifies to Jesus and vindicates him.

[3:15]  ⁷ tn Grk “whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.” The two consecutive relative clauses make for awkward English style, so the second was begun as a new sentence with the words “to this fact” supplied in place of the Greek relative pronoun to make a complete sentence in English.

[3:15]  sn We are witnesses. Note the two witnesses here, Peter and John (Acts 5:32; Heb 2:3-4).

[5:32]  ⁸ tn Or “things.” They are preaching these things even to the hostile leadership.

[5:32]  ⁹ sn Those who obey. The implication, of course, is that the leadership is disobeying God.

[10:39]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “And we.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[10:39]  ¹¹ tn Grk “the land of the Jews,” but this is similar to the phrase used as the name of the province of Judea in 1 Macc 8:3 (see BDAG 1093-94 s.v. χώρα 2.b).

[10:39]  ¹² map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[10:39]  ¹³ tn Grk “in Jerusalem, whom they killed.” The relative pronoun was replaced by the pronoun “him” and a new sentence was begun in the translation at this point to improve the English style, due to the length of the sentence in Greek.

[10:39]  ¹⁴ tn Or “by crucifying him” (“hang on a tree” is by the time of the 1st century an idiom for crucifixion). The allusion is to the judgment against Jesus as a rebellious figure, appealing to the language of Deut 21:23. The Jewish leadership has badly “misjudged” Jesus.
