Yesaya 1:7
Konteks1:7 Your land is devastated,
your cities burned with fire.
Right before your eyes your crops
are being destroyed by foreign invaders. 1
They leave behind devastation and destruction. 2
Yesaya 42:22-25
Konteks42:22 But these people are looted and plundered;
all of them are trapped in pits 3
and held captive 4 in prisons.
They were carried away as loot with no one to rescue them;
they were carried away as plunder, and no one says, “Bring that back!” 5
42:23 Who among you will pay attention to this?
Who will listen attentively in the future? 6
42:24 Who handed Jacob over to the robber?
Who handed Israel over to the looters? 7
Was it not the Lord, against whom we sinned?
They refused to follow his commands;
they disobeyed his law. 8
42:25 So he poured out his fierce anger on them,
along with the devastation 9 of war.
Its flames encircled them, but they did not realize it; 10
it burned against them, but they did notice. 11
Yesaya 42:2
Konteks42:2 He will not cry out or shout;
he will not publicize himself in the streets. 12
Kisah Para Rasul 17:6
Konteks17:6 When they did not find them, they dragged 13 Jason and some of the brothers before the city officials, 14 screaming, “These people who have stirred up trouble 15 throughout the world 16 have come here too,

Konteks17:2 Paul went to the Jews in the synagogue, 17 as he customarily did, and on three Sabbath days he addressed 18 them from the scriptures,
Kisah Para Rasul 28:5-8
Konteks28:5 However, 19 Paul 20 shook 21 the creature off into the fire and suffered no harm. 28:6 But they were expecting that he was going to swell up 22 or suddenly drop dead. So after they had waited 23 a long time and had seen 24 nothing unusual happen 25 to him, they changed their minds 26 and said he was a god. 27
28:7 Now in the region around that place 28 were fields belonging to the chief official 29 of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and entertained us hospitably as guests for three days. 28:8 The father 30 of Publius lay sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him 31 and after praying, placed 32 his hands on him and healed 33 him.
[1:7] 1 tn Heb “As for your land, before you foreigners are devouring it.”
[1:7] 2 tn Heb “and [there is] devastation like an overthrow by foreigners.” The comparative preposition כְּ (kÿ, “like, as”) has here the rhetorical nuance, “in every way like.” The point is that the land has all the earmarks of a destructive foreign invasion because that is what has indeed happened. One could paraphrase, “it is desolate as it can only be when foreigners destroy.” On this use of the preposition in general, see GKC 376 §118.x. Many also prefer to emend “foreigners” here to “Sodom,” though there is no external attestation for such a reading in the
[42:22] 3 tc The Hebrew text has בַּחוּרִים (bakhurim, “young men”), but the text should be emended to בְּהוֹרִים (bÿhorim, “in holes”).
[42:22] 4 tn Heb “and made to be hidden”; NAB, NASB, NIV, TEV “hidden away in prisons.”
[42:22] 5 tn Heb “they became loot and there was no one rescuing, plunder and there was no one saying, ‘Bring back’.”
[42:23] 6 tn The interrogative particle is understood in the second line by ellipsis (note the preceding line).
[42:24] 7 tn Heb “Who gave to the robber Jacob, and Israel to the looters?” In the first line the consonantal text (Kethib) has מְשׁוֹסֶה (mÿshoseh), a Polel participle from שָׁסָה (shasah, “plunder”). The marginal reading (Qere) is מְשִׁיסָּה (mÿshissah), a noun meaning “plunder.” In this case one could translate “Who handed Jacob over as plunder?”
[42:24] 8 tn Heb “they were not willing in his ways to walk, and they did not listen to his law.”
[42:25] 9 tn Heb “strength” (so KJV, NASB); NAB “fury”; NASB “fierceness”; NIV “violence.”
[42:25] 10 tn Heb “and it blazed against him all around, but he did not know.” The subject of the third feminine singular verb “blazed” is the divine חֵמָה (khemah, “anger”) mentioned in the previous line.
[42:25] 11 tn Heb “and it burned against him, but he did not set [it] upon [the] heart.”
[42:2] 12 tn Heb “he will not cause his voice to be heard in the street.”
[17:6] 13 tn See BDAG 977-78 s.v. σύρω on this verb. It was used in everyday speech of dragging in fish by a net, or dragging away someone’s (presumably) dead body (Paul in Acts 14:19).
[17:6] 14 tn L&N 37.93 defines πολιτάρχης (politarch") as “a public official responsible for administrative matters within a town or city and a member of the ruling council of such a political unit – ‘city official’” (see also BDAG 845 s.v.).
[17:6] 15 tn Or “rebellion.” BDAG 72 s.v. ἀναστατόω has “disturb, trouble, upset,” but in light of the references in the following verse to political insurrection, “stirred up rebellion” would also be appropriate.
[17:6] 16 tn Or “the empire.” This was a way of referring to the Roman empire (BDAG 699 s.v. οἰκουμένη 2.b).
[17:6] sn Throughout the world. Note how some of those present had knowledge of what had happened elsewhere. Word about Paul and his companions and their message was spreading.
[17:2] 17 tn Grk “he went in to them”; the referent (the Jews in the synagogue) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[17:2] 18 tn Although the word διελέξατο (dielexato; from διαλέγομαι, dialegomai) is frequently translated “reasoned,” “disputed,” or “argued,” this sense comes from its classical meaning where it was used of philosophical disputation, including the Socratic method of questions and answers. However, there does not seem to be contextual evidence for this kind of debate in Acts 17:2. 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.
[28:5] 19 tn BDAG 737 s.v. οὖν 4 indicates the particle has an adversative sense here: “but, however.”
[28:5] 20 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[28:5] 21 tn Grk “shaking the creature off…he suffered no harm.” The participle ἀποτινάξας (apotinaxa") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
[28:6] 22 tn Or “going to burn with fever.” According to BDAG 814 s.v. πίμπρημι, either meaning (“swell up” or “burn with fever”) is possible for Acts 28:6.
[28:6] 23 tn The participle προσδοκώντων (prosdokwntwn) has been taken temporally.
[28:6] 24 tn The participle θεωρούντων (qewrountwn) has been taken temporally.
[28:6] 25 tn Grk “happening.” The participle γινόμενον (ginomenon) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
[28:6] 26 tn Grk “changing their minds.” The participle μεταβαλόμενοι (metabalomenoi) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
[28:6] 27 sn And said he was a god. The reaction is like Acts 14:11-19 where the crowd wanted to make Paul and Barnabas into gods. The providence of God had protected Paul again.
[28:7] 28 tn BDAG 798 s.v. περί 2.a.γ states, “of nearby places…τὰ περὶ τὸν τὸπον the region around the place Ac 28:7.” The presence of ἐκεῖνον (ekeinon) results in the translation “that place.”
[28:7] 29 tn That is, the chief Roman official. Several inscriptions have confirmed the use of πρῶτος (prwtos) as an administrative title used on the island of Malta for the highest Roman official. See further BDAG 852 s.v. Πόπλιος.
[28:8] 30 tn Grk “It happened that the father.” 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.
[28:8] 31 tn Grk “to whom Paul going in.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the relative pronoun (“whom”) was replaced by a personal pronoun (“him”) and a new sentence begun here in the translation. The participle εἰσελθών (eiselqwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
[28:8] 32 tn The participle ἐπιθείς (epiqeis) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
[28:8] 33 sn And healed him. Here are healings like Luke 9:40; 10:30; 13:13; Acts 16:23.
