Kisah Para Rasul 8:16

8:16 (For the Spirit ⁵  had not yet come upon ⁶  any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) ⁷ 

Kisah Para Rasul 9:18

9:18 Immediately ⁸  something like scales ⁹  fell from his eyes, and he could see again. He ¹⁰  got up and was baptized,

Kisah Para Rasul 10:48

10:48 So he gave orders to have them baptized ¹¹  in the name of Jesus Christ. ¹²  Then they asked him to stay for several days.

Kisah Para Rasul 22:16

22:16 And now what are you waiting for? ¹³  Get up, ¹⁴  be baptized, and have your sins washed away, ¹⁵  calling on his name.’ ¹⁶ 

[2:41]  ¹ tn Or “who acknowledged the truth of.”

[2:41]  ² tn Grk “word.”

[2:41]  ³ tn Grk “souls” (here an idiom for the whole person).

[2:41]  ⁴ tn Or “were won over.”

[8:16]  ⁵ tn Grk “For he”; the referent (the Spirit) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:16]  ⁶ tn Or “fallen on.”

[8:16]  ⁷ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.

[9:18]  ⁸ tn Grk “And immediately.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[9:18]  ⁹ tn The comparison to “scales” suggests a crusty covering which peeled away (cf. BDAG 592 s.v. λεπίς 2).

[9:18]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “and he.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence was started, with “and” placed before the final element of the previous clause as required by English style.

[10:48]  ¹¹ tn The Greek construction (passive infinitive with accusative subject) could be translated either “he ordered them to be baptized” or “he ordered that they be baptized,” but the implication in English in either case is that Peter was giving orders to the Gentiles in Cornelius’ house, telling them to get baptized. It is much more likely in the context that Peter was ordering those Jewish Christians who accompanied him to baptize the new Gentile converts. They would doubtless have still had misgivings even after witnessing the outpouring of the Spirit and hearing the tongues. It took Peter’s apostolic authority (“ordered”) to convince them to perform the baptisms.

[10:48]  ¹² tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.” Jesus’ right to judge as the provider of forgiveness is highlighted here.

[22:16]  ¹³ tn L&N 67.121 has “to extend time unduly, with the implication of lack of decision – ‘to wait, to delay.’ νῦν τί μέλλεις… ἀναστὰς βάπτισαι ‘what are you waiting for? Get up and be baptized’ Ac 22:16.”

[22:16]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “getting up.” The participle ἀναστάς (anasta") is an adverbial participle of attendant circumstance and has been translated as a finite verb.

[22:16]  ¹⁵ sn The expression have your sins washed away means “have your sins purified” (the washing is figurative).

[22:16]  ¹⁶ sn The expression calling on his name describes the confession of the believer: Acts 2:17-38, esp. v. 38; Rom 10:12-13; 1 Cor 1:2.
