Kisah Para Rasul 6:1

The Appointment of the First Seven Deacons

6:1 Now in those ⁵  days, when the disciples were growing in number, ⁶  a complaint arose on the part of the Greek-speaking Jews ⁷  against the native Hebraic Jews, ⁸  because their widows ⁹  were being overlooked ¹⁰  in the daily distribution of food. ¹¹ 

Kisah Para Rasul 7:12

7:12 So when Jacob heard that there was grain ¹²  in Egypt, he sent our ancestors ¹³  there ¹⁴  the first time.

[4:9]  ¹ tn Heb “and the doors for the enclosure.”

[4:1]  ² tn Heb “twenty cubits.” Assuming a cubit of 18 inches (45 cm), the length would have been 30 feet (9 m).

[4:1]  ³ tn Heb “twenty cubits.”

[4:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “ten cubits.” Assuming a cubit of 18 inches (45 cm), the height would have been 15 feet (4.5 m).

[6:1]  ⁵ tn Grk “these.” The translation uses “those” for stylistic reasons.

[6:1]  ⁶ tn Grk “were multiplying.”

[6:1]  ⁷ tn Grk “the Hellenists,” but this descriptive term is largely unknown to the modern English reader. The translation “Greek-speaking Jews” attempts to convey something of who these were, but it was more than a matter of language spoken; it involved a degree of adoption of Greek culture as well.

[6:1]  sn The Greek-speaking Jews were the Hellenists, Jews who to a greater or lesser extent had adopted Greek thought, customs, and lifestyle, as well as the Greek language. The city of Alexandria in Egypt was a focal point for them, but they were scattered throughout the Roman Empire.

[6:1]  ⁸ tn Grk “against the Hebrews,” but as with “Hellenists” this needs further explanation for the modern reader.

[6:1]  ⁹ sn The care of widows is a major biblical theme: Deut 10:18; 16:11, 14; 24:17, 19-21; 26:12-13; 27:19; Isa 1:17-23; Jer 7:6; Mal 3:5.

[6:1]  ¹⁰ tn Or “neglected.”

[6:1]  ¹¹ tn Grk “in the daily serving.”

[6:1]  sn The daily distribution of food. The early church saw it as a responsibility to meet the basic needs of people in their group.

[7:12]  ¹² tn Or possibly “food,” since in a number of extrabiblical contexts the phrase σιτία καὶ ποτά (sitia kai pota) means “food and drink,” where solid food is contrasted with liquid nourishment (L&N 3.42).

[7:12]  ¹³ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[7:12]  ¹⁴ tn The word “there” is not in the Greek text. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.
