Kisah Para Rasul 5:37

5:37 After him Judas the Galilean arose in the days of the census, ¹  and incited people to follow him in revolt. ²  He too was killed, and all who followed him were scattered.

Kisah Para Rasul 13:41

13:41 ‘Look, you scoffers; be amazed and perish! ³ 

For I am doing a work in your days,

a work you would never believe, even if someone tells you.’” ⁴ 

Kisah Para Rasul 27:22

27:22 And now I advise ⁵  you to keep up your courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only the ship will be lost. ⁶ 

[5:37]  ¹ tn Or “registration.”

[5:37]  ² tn The verb ἀφίστημι (afisthmi) as a transitive means “cause to revolt” as used in Josephus, Ant. 8.7.5 (8.198), 20.5.2 (20.102); see BDAG 157 s.v. 1.

[13:41]  ³ tn Or “and die!”

[13:41]  ⁴ sn A quotation from Hab 1:5. The irony in the phrase even if someone tells you, of course, is that Paul has now told them. So the call in the warning is to believe or else face the peril of being scoffers whom God will judge. The parallel from Habakkuk is that the nation failed to see how Babylon’s rising to power meant perilous judgment for Israel.

[27:22]  ⁵ tn The same verb is used for Paul’s original recommendation in Ac 27:9.

[27:22]  ⁶ tn Grk “except the ship.” Here “but” is used to translate the improper preposition πλήν (plhn; see BDAG 826 s.v. πλήν 2) since an exception like this, where two different categories of objects are involved (people and a ship), is more naturally expressed in contemporary English with an adversative (“but”). The words “will be lost” are also supplied for clarity.

[27:22]  sn The “prophecy” about the ship serves to underscore Paul’s credibility as an agent of God. Paul addressed his audience carefully and drew attention to the sovereign knowledge of God.
