Kisah Para Rasul 20:7

20:23 except ¹⁶  that the Holy Spirit warns ¹⁷  me in town after town ¹⁸  that ¹⁹  imprisonment ²⁰  and persecutions ²¹  are waiting for me.

[6:8]  ¹ tc The verb form used here is difficult to analyze. On the basis of the form נְחִתִּים (nÿkhitim) in v. 9 from the root נָחַת (nakhat), it is probably best to emend the verb to תִּנְחְתוּ (tinkhÿtu; a Qal imperfect form from the same root). The verb נָחַת in at least two other instances carries the nuance “go down, descend” in a military context. For a defense of this view, see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 72.

[6:8]  ² sn The advisers would have mentioned a specific location, but the details are not significant to the narrator’s purpose, so he simply paraphrases here.

[20:8]  ³ tn Heb “And Abimelech rose early in the morning and he summoned.”

[20:8]  ⁴ tn The verb קָרָא (qara’) followed by the preposition לְ (lamed) means “to summon.”

[20:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “And he spoke all these things in their ears.”

[20:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “the men.” This has been replaced by the pronoun “they” in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[41:38]  ⁷ tn Heb “like this,” but the referent could be misunderstood to be a man like that described by Joseph in v. 33, rather than Joseph himself. For this reason the proper name “Joseph” has been supplied in the translation.

[41:38]  ⁸ tn The rhetorical question expects the answer “No, of course not!”

[41:1]  ⁹ tn Heb “two years, days.”

[41:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “was dreaming.”

[20:7]  ¹¹ sn On the first day. This is the first mention of a Sunday gathering (1 Cor 16:2).

[20:7]  ¹² tn Or “assembled.”

[20:7]  ¹³ tn The verb διαλέγομαι (dialegomai) is frequently used of Paul addressing Jews in the synagogue. As G. Schrenk (TDNT 2:94-95) points out, “What is at issue is the address which any qualified member of a synagogue might give.” Other examples of this may be found in the NT in Matt 4:23 and Mark 1:21. In the context of a Christian gathering, it is preferable to translate διελέγετο (dielegeto) simply as “speak” here. The imperfect verb διελέγετο has been translated as an ingressive imperfect.

[20:7]  ¹⁴ tn BDAG 628 s.v. μέλλω 1.c.γ has “denoting an intended action: intend, propose, have in mind…Ac 17:31; 20:3, 7, 13ab; 23:15; 26:2; 27:30.”

[20:7]  ¹⁵ tn Or “prolonged.”

[20:23]  ¹⁶ tn BDAG 826 s.v. πλήν 1.d has “πλὴν ὅτι except that…Ac 20:23.”

[20:23]  ¹⁷ tn The verb διαμαρτύρομαι (diamarturomai) can mean “warn” (BDAG 233 s.v. διαμαρτύρομαι 2 has “solemnly urge, exhort, warn…w. dat. of pers. addressed”), and this meaning better fits the context here, although BDAG categorizes Acts 20:23 under the meaning “testify of, bear witness to” (s.v. 1).

[20:23]  ¹⁸ tn The Greek text here reads κατὰ πόλιν (kata polin).

[20:23]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “saying that,” but the participle λέγον (legon) is redundant in English and has not been translated.

[20:23]  ²⁰ tn Grk “bonds.”

[20:23]  ²¹ tn Or “troubles,” “suffering.” See Acts 19:21; 21:4, 11.
