Kisah Para Rasul 2:44

2:44 All who believed were together and held ¹  everything in common,

Kisah Para Rasul 9:25

9:25 But his disciples took him at night and let him down through an opening ²  in the wall by lowering him in a basket. ³ 

Kisah Para Rasul 10:46

10:46 for they heard them speaking in tongues and praising ⁴  God. Then Peter said,

Kisah Para Rasul 21:14

21:14 Because he could not be persuaded, ⁵  we said no more except, ⁶  “The Lord’s will be done.” ⁷ 

[2:44]  ¹ tn Grk “had.”

[9:25]  ² tn The opening in the wall is not specifically mentioned here, but the parallel account in 2 Cor 11:33 mentions a “window” or “opening” (θυρίς, quris) in the city wall through which Paul was lowered. One alternative to introducing mention of the opening is to translate Acts 9:25 “they let him down over the wall,” as suggested in L&N 7.61. This option is not employed by many translations, however, because for the English reader it creates an (apparent) contradiction between Acts 9:25 and 2 Cor 11:33. In reality the account here is simply more general, omitting the detail about the window.

[9:25]  ³ tn On the term for “basket” used here, see BDAG 940 s.v. σπυρίς.

[10:46]  ⁴ tn Or “extolling,” “magnifying.”

[21:14]  ⁵ tn The participle πειθομένου (peiqomenou) in this genitive absolute construction has been translated as a causal adverbial participle.

[21:14]  ⁶ tn Grk “we became silent, saying.”

[21:14]  ⁷ sn “The Lord’s will be done.” Since no one knew exactly what would happen, the matter was left in the Lord’s hands.
