2:29 “Brothers, ¹  I can speak confidently ²  to you about our forefather ³  David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

Kisah Para Rasul 7:39

7:39 Our ⁴  ancestors ⁵  were unwilling to obey ⁶  him, but pushed him aside ⁷  and turned back to Egypt in their hearts,

[2:29]  ¹ tn Since this represents a continuation of the address beginning in v.14 and continued in v. 22, “brothers” has been used here rather than a generic expression like “brothers and sisters.”

[2:29]  ² sn Peter’s certainty is based on well-known facts.

[2:29]  ³ tn Or “about our noted ancestor,” “about the patriarch.”

[7:39]  ⁴ tn Grk “whom our.” The continuation of the sentence as a relative clause is awkward in English, so a new sentence was started in the translation at this point.

[7:39]  ⁵ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[7:39]  ⁶ sn To obey. Again the theme of the speech is noted. The nation disobeyed the way of God and opted for Egypt over the promised land.

[7:39]  ⁷ sn Pushed him aside. This is the second time Moses is “pushed aside” in Stephen’s account (see v. 27).
