Kisah Para Rasul 2:34-36

2:34 For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says,

‘The Lord said to my lord,

“Sit ¹  at my right hand

2:35 until I make your enemies a footstool ²  for your feet.”’ ³ 

2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know beyond a doubt ⁴  that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified ⁵  both Lord ⁶  and Christ.” ⁷ 

Kisah Para Rasul 7:55

7:55 But Stephen, ⁸  full ⁹  of the Holy Spirit, looked intently ¹⁰  toward heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing ¹¹  at the right hand of God.

[2:34]  ¹ sn Sit at my right hand. The word “sit” alludes back to the promise of “seating one on his throne” in v. 30.

[2:35]  ² sn The metaphor make your enemies a footstool portrays the complete subjugation of the enemies.

[2:35]  ³ sn A quotation from Ps 110:1, one of the most often-cited OT passages in the NT, pointing to the exaltation of Jesus.

[2:36]  ⁴ tn Or “know for certain.” This term is in an emphatic position in the clause.

[2:36]  ⁵ tn Grk “has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” The clause has been simplified in the translation by replacing the pronoun “him” with the explanatory clause “this Jesus whom you crucified” which comes at the end of the sentence.

[2:36]  ⁶ sn Lord. This looks back to the quotation of Ps 110:1 and the mention of “calling on the Lord” in 2:21. Peter’s point is that the Lord on whom one calls for salvation is Jesus, because he is the one mediating God’s blessing of the Spirit as a sign of the presence of salvation and the last days.

[2:36]  ⁷ tn Or “and Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[2:36]  sn See the note on Christ in 2:31.

[7:55]  ⁸ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Stephen) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:55]  ⁹ tn Grk “being full,” but the participle ὑπάρχων (Juparcwn) has not been translated since it would be redundant in English.

[7:55]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “looking intently toward heaven, saw.” The participle ἀτενίσας (atenisa") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[7:55]  ¹¹ sn The picture of Jesus standing (rather than seated) probably indicates his rising to receive his child. By announcing his vision, Stephen thoroughly offended his audience, who believed no one could share God’s place in heaven. The phrase is a variation on Ps 110:1.
