Kisah Para Rasul 16:8

Kisah Para Rasul 27:26

27:26 But we must ⁴  run aground on some island.”

Kisah Para Rasul 28:12

28:12 We put in ⁵  at Syracuse ⁶  and stayed there three days.

[16:8]  ¹ tn Although the normal meaning for παρέρχομαι (parercomai) is “pass by, go by,” it would be difficult to get to Troas from where Paul and his companions were without going through rather than around Mysia. BDAG 776 s.v. παρέρχομαι 6 list some nonbiblical examples of the meaning “go through, pass through,” and give that meaning for the usage here.

[16:8]  ² sn Mysia was a province in northwest Asia Minor.

[16:8]  ³ sn Troas was a port city (and surrounding region) on the northwest coast of Asia Minor, near ancient Troy.

[27:26]  ⁴ tn This is another use of δεῖ (dei) to indicate necessity (see also v. 24). Acts 28:1 shows the fulfillment of this.

[28:12]  ⁵ tn Grk “And putting in.” The participle καταχθέντες (katacqente") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. On the meaning of the participle, BDAG 516 s.v. κατάγω states, “Hence the pass., in act. sense, of ships and seafarers put in εἴς τι at a harbor…εἰς Συρακούσας Ac 28:12.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[28:12]  ⁶ sn Syracuse was a city on the eastern coast of the island of Sicily. It was 75 mi (120 km) from Malta.
