Kisah Para Rasul 10:9

10:9 About noon ⁸  the next day, while they were on their way and approaching ⁹  the city, Peter went up on the roof ¹⁰  to pray.

[18:19]  ¹ tn The word “messengers” is supplied in the translation both here and in v. 20 for clarification.

[18:19]  ² tn Heb “who eat at the table of Jezebel.”

[6:12]  ³ tn Grk “Now it happened that in.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[6:12]  ⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:12]  ⁵ tn Or “to a mountain” (εἰς τὸ ὅρος, eis to Joro").

[6:12]  sn The expression to the mountain here may be idiomatic or generic, much like the English “he went to the hospital” (cf. 15:29), or even intentionally reminiscent of Exod 24:12 (LXX), since the genre of the Sermon on the Mount seems to be that of a new Moses giving a new law.

[6:12]  ⁶ sn This is the only time all night prayer is mentioned in the NT.

[6:12]  ⁷ tn This is an objective genitive, so prayer “to God.”

[10:9]  ⁸ tn Grk “about the sixth hour.”

[10:9]  ⁹ tn The participles ὁδοιπορούντων (Jodoiporountwn, “while they were on their way”) and ἐγγιζόντων (engizontwn, “approaching”) have been translated as temporal participles.

[10:9]  ¹⁰ sn Went up on the roof. Most of the roofs in the NT were flat roofs made of pounded dirt, sometimes mixed with lime or stones, supported by heavy wooden beams. They generally had an easy means of access, either a sturdy wooden ladder or stone stairway, sometimes on the outside of the house.
