Kisah Para Rasul 3:1

Peter and John Heal a Lame Man at the Temple

3:1 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time ¹  for prayer, ²  at three o’clock in the afternoon. ³ 

Kisah Para Rasul 5:21

5:21 When they heard this, they entered the temple courts ⁴  at daybreak and began teaching. ⁵ 

Now when the high priest and those who were with him arrived, they summoned the Sanhedrin ⁶  – that is, the whole high council ⁷  of the Israelites ⁸  – and sent to the jail to have the apostles ⁹  brought before them. ¹⁰ 

Kisah Para Rasul 5:42

5:42 And every day both in the temple courts ¹¹  and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good news ¹²  that Jesus was the Christ. ¹³ 

[3:1]  ¹ tn Grk “hour.”

[3:1]  ² sn Going up to the temple at the time for prayer. The earliest Christians, being of Jewish roots, were still participating in the institutions of Judaism at this point. Their faith in Christ did not make them non-Jewish in their practices.

[3:1]  ³ tn Grk “at the ninth hour.” This is calculated from sunrise (Josephus, Ant. 14.4.3 [14.65]; Dan 9:21).

[5:21]  ⁴ tn Grk “the temple.” See the note on the same phrase in the preceding verse.

[5:21]  ⁵ tn The imperfect verb ἐδίδασκον (edidaskon) has been translated as an ingressive imperfect.

[5:21]  ⁶ tn Or “the council” (the highest legal, legislative, and judicial body among the Jews).

[5:21]  ⁷ tn A hendiadys (two different terms referring to a single thing) is likely here (a reference to a single legislative body rather than two separate ones) because the term γερουσίαν (gerousian) is used in both 1 Macc 12:6 and Josephus, Ant. 13.5.8 (13.166) to refer to the Sanhedrin.

[5:21]  ⁸ tn Grk “sons of Israel.”

[5:21]  ⁹ tn Grk “have them”; the referent (the apostles) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:21]  ¹⁰ tn The words “before them” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

[5:42]  ¹¹ tn Grk “temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper and has been translated accordingly.

[5:42]  ¹² tn Grk “teaching and evangelizing.” They were still obeying God, not men (see 4:18-20; 5:29).

[5:42]  ¹³ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[5:42]  sn See the note on Christ in 2:31.
