Kisah Para Rasul 11:28

11:28 One of them, named Agabus, got up ¹  and predicted ²  by the Spirit that a severe ³  famine ⁴  was about to come over the whole inhabited world. ⁵  (This ⁶  took place during the reign of Claudius.) ⁷ 

Kisah Para Rasul 14:3

14:3 So they stayed there ⁸  for a considerable time, speaking out courageously for the Lord, who testified ⁹  to the message ¹⁰  of his grace, granting miraculous signs ¹¹  and wonders to be performed through their hands.

Kisah Para Rasul 19:11

The Seven Sons of Sceva

19:11 God was performing extraordinary ¹²  miracles by Paul’s hands,

[11:28]  ¹ tn Grk “getting up, predicted.” The participle ἀναστάς (anasta") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[11:28]  ² tn Or “made clear”; Grk “indicated beforehand” (BDAG 920 s.v. σημαίνω 2).

[11:28]  ³ tn Grk “great.”

[11:28]  ⁴ sn This famine is one of the firmly fixed dates in Acts. It took place from a.d. 45-48. The events described in chap. 11 of Acts occurred during the early part of that period.

[11:28]  ⁵ tn Or “whole Roman Empire.” While the word οἰκουμένη (oikoumenh) does occasionally refer specifically to the Roman Empire, BDAG 699 s.v. οἰκουνένη 2 does not list this passage (only Acts 24:5 and 17:6).

[11:28]  ⁶ tn Grk “world, which.” The relative pronoun (“which”) was replaced by the demonstrative pronoun “this” and a new sentence was begun in the translation at this point to improve the English style, due to the length of the sentence in Greek.

[11:28]  ⁷ sn This is best taken as a parenthetical note by the author. Claudius was the Roman emperor Tiberius Claudius Nero Germanicus, known as Claudius, who ruled from a.d. 41-54.

[14:3]  ⁸ tn The word “there” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

[14:3]  ⁹ sn The Lord testified to the message by granting the signs described in the following clause.

[14:3]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “word.”

[14:3]  ¹¹ tn Here the context indicates the miraculous nature of the signs mentioned.

[19:11]  ¹² tn BDAG 1019 s.v. τυγχάνω 2.d states, “δυνάμεις οὐ τὰς τυχούσας extraordinary miracles Ac 19:11.”
