Kisah Para Rasul 12:10

12:10 After they had passed the first and second guards, ¹  they came to the iron ²  gate leading into the city. It ³  opened for them by itself, ⁴  and they went outside and walked down one narrow street, ⁵  when at once the angel left him.

[12:10]  ¹ tn Or perhaps, “guard posts.”

[12:10]  ² sn The iron gate shows how important security was here. This door was more secure than one made of wood (which would be usual).

[12:10]  ³ tn Grk “which.” The relative pronoun (“which”) was replaced by the pronoun “it,” 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.

[12:10]  ⁴ tn The Greek term here, αὐτομάτη (automath), indicates something that happens without visible cause (BDAG 152 s.v. αὐτόματος).

[12:10]  ⁵ tn Or “lane,” “alley” (BDAG 907 s.v. ῥύμη).
