Kisah Para Rasul 28:26

28:26 when he said,

‘Go to this people and say,

“You will keep on hearing, ¹  but will never understand,

and you will keep on looking, ²  but will never perceive.

Kisah Para Rasul 9:17

9:17 So Ananias departed and entered the house, placed ³  his hands on Saul ⁴  and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came here, ⁵  has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” ⁶ 

[28:26]  ¹ tn Grk “you will hear with hearing” (an idiom).

[28:26]  ² tn Or “seeing”; Grk “you will look by looking” (an idiom).

[9:17]  ³ tn Grk “and placing his hands on Saul, he said.” The participle ἐπιθείς (epiqei") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. For the same reason καί (kai) has not been translated before the participle.

[9:17]  ⁴ tn Grk “on him”; the referent (Saul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:17]  ⁵ tn Grk “on the road in which you came,” but the relative clause makes for awkward English style, so it was translated as a temporal clause (“as you came here”).

[9:17]  ⁶ sn Be filled with the Holy Spirit. Here someone who is not an apostle (Ananias) commissions another person with the Spirit.
