Kisah Para Rasul 8:32
Konteks8:32 Now the passage of scripture the man 1 was reading was this:
“He was led like a sheep to slaughter,
and like a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he did 2 not open his mouth.
Kisah Para Rasul 17:11
Konteks17:11 These Jews 3 were more open-minded 4 than those in Thessalonica, 5 for they eagerly 6 received 7 the message, examining 8 the scriptures carefully every day 9 to see if these things were so.
[8:32] 1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[8:32] 2 tn Grk “does.” The present tense here was translated as a past tense to maintain consistency with the first line of the quotation (“he was led like a sheep to slaughter”), which has an aorist passive verb normally translated as a past tense in English.
[17:11] 3 tn Grk “These”; the referent (the Jews in the synagogue at Berea) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[17:11] 4 tn Or “more willing to learn.” L&N 27.48 and BDAG 404 s.v. εὐγενής 2 both use the term “open-minded” here. The point is that they were more receptive to Paul’s message.
[17:11] 5 sn Thessalonica was a city in Macedonia (modern Salonica).
[17:11] map For location see JP1 C1; JP2 C1; JP3 C1; JP4 C1.
[17:11] 6 tn Or “willingly,” “readily”; Grk “with all eagerness.”
[17:11] 7 tn Grk “who received.” Here the relative pronoun (“who”) has been translated as a pronoun (“they”) preceded by a semicolon, which is less awkward in contemporary English than a relative clause at this point.
[17:11] 8 tn This verb (BDAG 66 s.v. ἀνακρίνω 1) refers to careful examination.
[17:11] 9 tn BDAG 437 s.v. ἡμέρα 2.c has “every day” for this phrase in this verse.
