Kisah Para Rasul 18:1

Paul at Corinth

18:1 After this ¹²  Paul ¹³  departed from ¹⁴  Athens ¹⁵  and went to Corinth. ¹⁶ 

[8:26]  ¹ tn Or “the angel of the Lord.” See the note on the word “Lord” in 5:19.

[8:26]  ² tn Grk “Lord spoke to Philip, saying.” The redundant participle λέγων (legwn) has not been translated.

[8:26]  ³ tn Or “Get up and go about noon.” The phrase κατὰ μεσημβρίαν (kata meshmbrian) can be translated either “about noon” (L&N 67.74) or “toward the south” (L&N 82.4). Since the angel’s command appears to call for immediate action (“Get up”) and would not therefore need a time indicator, a directional reference (“toward the south”) is more likely here.

[8:26]  ⁵ tn Or “wilderness.”

[8:26]  ⁶ tn The words “This is a desert road” are probably best understood as a comment by the author of Acts, but it is possible they form part of the angel’s speech to Philip, in which case the verse would read: “Get up and go south on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza – the desert road.”

[8:26]  sn The concluding note about the road appears to be a parenthetical note by the author.

[25:12]  ⁷ tn That is, with his advisers.

[25:12]  ⁸ sn See the note on Porcius Festus in 24:27.

[25:12]  ⁹ tn Or “to the emperor” (“Caesar” is a title for the Roman emperor).

[25:12]  ¹⁰ tn Or “to the emperor.”

[25:12]  ¹¹ sn “To Caesar you will go!” In all probability Festus was pleased to send Paul on to Rome and get this political problem out of his court.

[18:1]  ¹² tn Grk “After these things.”

[18:1]  ¹³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:1]  ¹⁴ tn Or “Paul left.”

[18:1]  ¹⁶ sn Corinth was the capital city of the senatorial province of Achaia and the seat of the Roman proconsul. It was located 55 mi (88 km) west of Athens. Corinth was a major rival to Athens and was the largest city in Greece at the time.
