Kisah Para Rasul 5:12

The Apostles Perform Miraculous Signs and Wonders

5:12 Now many miraculous signs ⁹  and wonders came about among the people through the hands of the apostles. By ¹⁰  common consent ¹¹  they were all meeting together in Solomon’s Portico. ¹² 

[3:7]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then” to reflect the sequence of events.

[3:7]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:7]  ³ tn Grk “Peter taking hold of him…raised him up.” The participle πιάσας (piasas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[3:7]  ⁴ tn Grk “his”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:7]  ⁵ sn At once the man’s feet and ankles were made strong. Note that despite the past lameness, the man is immediately able to walk. The restoration of his ability to walk pictures the presence of a renewed walk, a fresh start at life; this was far more than money would have given him.

[3:11]  ⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:11]  ⁷ tn Or “portico,” “colonnade”; Grk “stoa.” The translation “covered walkway” (a descriptive translation) was used here because the architectural term “portico” or “colonnade” is less familiar. However, the more technical term “portico” was retained in the actual name that follows.

[3:11]  ⁸ sn Solomon’s Portico was a covered walkway formed by rows of columns supporting a roof and open on the inner side facing the center of the temple complex. It was located on the east side of the temple (Josephus, Ant. 15.11.3-5 [15.391-420], 20.9.7 [20.221]) and was a place of commerce and conversation.

[5:12]  ⁹ tn The miraculous nature of these signs is implied in the context.

[5:12]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “And by.” 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.

[5:12]  ¹¹ tn Or “With one mind.”

[5:12]  ¹² tn Or “colonnade”; Grk “stoa.”

[5:12]  sn Solomon’s Portico was a covered walkway formed by rows of columns supporting a roof and open on the inner side facing the center of the temple complex. Located beside the Court of the Gentiles, it was a very public area.
