Kisah Para Rasul 20:19

20:19 serving the Lord with all humility ⁴  and with tears, and with the trials that happened to me because of the plots ⁵  of the Jews.

Kisah Para Rasul 20:29

20:29 I know that after I am gone ⁶  fierce wolves ⁷  will come in among you, not sparing the flock.

Kisah Para Rasul 25:19

25:19 Rather they had several points of disagreement ⁸  with him about their own religion ⁹  and about a man named Jesus ¹⁰  who was dead, whom Paul claimed ¹¹  to be alive.

[4:30]  ¹ tn The miraculous nature of these signs is implied in the context.

[6:13]  ² sn This holy place is a reference to the temple.

[6:13]  ³ sn The law refers to the law of Moses. It elaborates the nature of the blasphemy in v. 11. To speak against God’s law in Torah was to blaspheme God (Deut 28:15-19). On the Jewish view of false witnesses, see Exod 19:16-18; 20:16; m. Sanhedrin 3.6; 5.1-5. Stephen’s speech in Acts 7 may indicate why the temple was mentioned.

[20:19]  ⁴ sn On humility see 2 Cor 10:1; 11:7; 1 Thess 2:6; Col 3:12; Eph 4:2; Phil 2:3-11.

[20:19]  ⁵ sn These plots are mentioned in Acts 9:24; 20:13.

[20:29]  ⁷ tn That is, people like fierce wolves. See BDAG 167-68 s.v. βαρύς 4 on the term translated “fierce.” The battle that will follow would be a savage one.

[25:19]  ⁸ tn Grk “several controversial issues.” BDAG 428 s.v. ζήτημα states, “in our lit. only in Ac, w. the mng. it still has in Mod. Gk. (controversial) question, issue, argument…Ac 15:2; 26:3. ζ. περί τινος questions about someth.…18:15; 25:19.”

[25:19]  ⁹ tn On this term see BDAG 216 s.v. δεισιδαιμονία 2. It is a broad term for religion.

[25:19]  sn About their own religion. Festus made it clear that in his view as a neutral figure (and as one Luke had noted was disposed to help the Jews), he saw no guilt in Paul. The issue was a simple religious dispute.

[25:19]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “a certain Jesus.”

[25:19]  ¹¹ tn Or “asserted.”
