Kisah Para Rasul 26:13

26:13 about noon along the road, Your Majesty, ⁶  I saw a light from heaven, ⁷  brighter than the sun, shining everywhere around ⁸  me and those traveling with me.

[22:6]  ¹ tn Grk “It happened that as.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[22:6]  ² tn Grk “going and nearing Damascus.”

[22:6]  sn En route and near Damascus. This is the first retelling of Paul’s Damascus Road experience in Acts (cf. Acts 9:1-9; the second retelling is in Acts 26:9-20).

[22:6]  ³ tn BDAG 472 s.v. ἱκανός 3.b has “φῶς a very bright light Ac 22:6.”

[22:6]  ⁴ tn Or “from the sky” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”).

[22:6]  ⁵ tn Or “shone.”

[26:13]  ⁶ tn Grk “O King.”

[26:13]  ⁷ tn Or “from the sky” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”).

[26:13]  ⁸ tn The word “everywhere” has been supplied in the translation to clarify the meaning of περιλάμψαν (perilamyan). Otherwise the modern reader might think that each of the individuals were encircled by lights or halos. See also Acts 9:7; 22:6, 9.
