Kisah Para Rasul 14:3
Konteks14:3 So they stayed there 1 for a considerable time, speaking out courageously for the Lord, who testified 2 to the message 3 of his grace, granting miraculous signs 4 and wonders to be performed through their hands.
Kisah Para Rasul 20:32
Konteks20:32 And now I entrust 5 you to God and to the message 6 of his grace. This message 7 is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
[14:3] 1 tn The word “there” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.
[14:3] 2 sn The Lord testified to the message by granting the signs described in the following clause.
[14:3] 4 tn Here the context indicates the miraculous nature of the signs mentioned.
[20:32] 5 tn Or “commend.” BDAG 772 s.v. παρατίθημι 3.b has “τινά τινι entrust someone to the care or protection of someone…Of divine protection παρέθεντο αὐτοὺς τῷ κυρίῳ Ac 14:23; cp. 20:32.”
[20:32] 7 tn Grk “the message of his grace, which.” The phrase τῷ δυναμένῳ οἰκοδομῆσαι… (tw dunamenw oikodomhsai…) refers to τῷ λόγω (tw logw), not τῆς χάριτος (ths caritos); in English it could refer to either “the message” or “grace,” but in Greek, because of agreement in gender, the referent can only be “the message.” To make this clear, a new sentence was begun in the translation and the referent “the message” was repeated at the beginning of this new sentence.
