1:13 When ¹  they had entered Jerusalem, ²  they went to the upstairs room where they were staying. Peter ³  and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James were there. ⁴ 

Kisah Para Rasul 2:14

Peter’s Address on the Day of Pentecost

2:14 But Peter stood up ⁵  with the eleven, raised his voice, and addressed them: “You men of Judea ⁶  and all you who live in Jerusalem, ⁷  know this ⁸  and listen carefully to what I say.

Kisah Para Rasul 2:22

2:22 “Men of Israel, ⁹  listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man clearly attested to you by God with powerful deeds, ¹⁰  wonders, and miraculous signs ¹¹  that God performed among you through him, just as you yourselves know –

Kisah Para Rasul 3:12

3:12 When Peter saw this, he declared to the people, “Men of Israel, ¹²  why are you amazed at this? Why ¹³  do you stare at us as if we had made this man ¹⁴  walk by our own power or piety?

Kisah Para Rasul 3:25

3:25 You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your ancestors, ¹⁵  saying to Abraham, ‘And in your descendants ¹⁶  all the nations ¹⁷  of the earth will be blessed.’ ¹⁸ 

Kisah Para Rasul 11:19

Activity in the Church at Antioch

11:19 Now those who had been scattered because of the persecution that took place over Stephen ¹⁹  went as far as ²⁰  Phoenicia, ²¹  Cyprus, ²²  and Antioch, ²³  speaking the message ²⁴  to no one but Jews.

Kisah Para Rasul 23:15

23:15 So now you and the council ²⁵  request the commanding officer ²⁶  to bring him down to you, as if you were going to determine ²⁷  his case ²⁸  by conducting a more thorough inquiry. ²⁹  We are ready to kill him ³⁰  before he comes near this place.” ³¹ 

[1:13]  ¹ tn Grk “And when.” 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.

[1:13]  ² tn The word “Jerusalem” is not in the Greek text but is implied (direct objects were often omitted when clear from the context).

[1:13]  ³ sn In the various lists of the twelve, Peter (also called Simon) is always mentioned first (see also Matt 10:1-4; Mark 3:16-19; Luke 6:13-16) and the first four are always the same, though not in the same order after Peter.

[1:13]  ⁴ tn The words “were there” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.

[2:14]  ⁵ tn Grk “standing up.” The participle σταθείς (staqei") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[2:14]  ⁶ tn Or “You Jewish men.” “Judea” is preferred here because it is paired with “Jerusalem,” a location. This suggests locality rather than ethnic background is the primary emphasis in the context. As for “men,” the Greek term here is ἀνήρ (anhr), which only exceptionally is used in a generic sense of both males and females. In this context, where “all” who live in Jerusalem are addressed, it is conceivable that this is a generic usage, although it can also be argued that Peter’s remarks were addressed primarily to the men present, even if women were there.

[2:14]  ⁸ tn Grk “let this be known to you.” The passive construction has been translated as an active for stylistic reasons.

[2:22]  ⁹ tn Or “Israelite men,” although this is less natural English. The Greek term here is ἀνήρ (anhr), which only exceptionally is used in a generic sense of both males and females. In this context, it is conceivable that this is a generic usage, although it can also be argued that Peter’s remarks were addressed primarily to the men present, even if women were there.

[2:22]  ¹⁰ tn Or “miraculous deeds.”

[2:22]  ¹¹ tn Again, the context indicates the miraculous nature of these signs, and this is specified in the translation.

[3:12]  ¹² tn Or perhaps “People of Israel,” since this was taking place in Solomon’s Portico and women may have been present. The Greek ἄνδρες ᾿Ισραηλῖται (andre" Israhlitai) used in the plural would normally mean “men, gentlemen” (BDAG 79 s.v. ἀνήρ 1.a).

[3:12]  ¹³ tn Grk “or why.”

[3:12]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “him”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:25]  ¹⁵ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[3:25]  ¹⁶ tn Or “in your offspring”; Grk “in your seed.”

[3:25]  sn In your descendants (Grk “in your seed”). Seed has an important ambiguity in this verse. The blessing comes from the servant (v. 26), who in turn blesses the responsive children of the covenant as the scripture promised. Jesus is the seed who blesses the seed.

[3:25]  ¹⁷ tn Or “families.” The Greek word πατριά (patria) can indicate persons of succeeding generations who are related by birth (“lineage,” “family”) but it can also indicate a relatively large unit of people who make up a sociopolitical group and who share a presumed biological descent. In many contexts πατριά is very similar to ἔθνος (eqnos) and λαός (laos). In light of the context of the OT quotation, it is better to translate πατριά as “nations” here.

[3:25]  ¹⁸ sn A quotation from Gen 22:18.

[11:19]  ¹⁹ sn The phrase over Stephen means in connection with Stephen’s death. See Acts 8:1b-3.

[11:19]  ²⁰ tn Or “finally reached.” The translations “went as far as” and “finally reached” for διῆλθον (dihlqon) in this verse are given in L&N 15.17.

[11:19]  ²¹ sn Phoenicia was an area along the Mediterranean coast north of Palestine.

[11:19]  ²² tn Grk “and Cyprus,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[11:19]  sn Cyprus was a large island in the Mediterranean off the south coast of Asia Minor.

[11:19]  ²³ sn Antioch was a city in Syria (not Antioch in Pisidia). This was probably the third largest city in the Greco-Roman world (Alexandria in Egypt was the second largest, and Rome the largest) and was the seat of government in Syria. Five miles away was a major temple to Artemis, Apollo, and Astarte, major pagan deities.

[11:19]  ²⁴ tn Grk “word.”

[23:15]  ²⁵ tn Grk “the Sanhedrin” (the Sanhedrin was the highest legal, legislative, and judicial body among the Jews).

[23:15]  ²⁶ tn Grk “the chiliarch” (an officer in command of a thousand soldiers). See note on the term “commanding officer” in v. 10.

[23:15]  ²⁷ tn Or “decide.” BDAG 227 s.v. διαγινώσκω has “ἀκριβέστερον τὰ περὶ αὐτοῦ to make a more thorough examination of his case Ac 23:15.”

[23:15]  ²⁸ tn Grk “determine the things about him.”

[23:15]  ²⁹ tn The expression “more thorough inquiry” reflects the comparative form of ἀκριβέστερον (akribesteron).

[23:15]  ³⁰ sn “We are ready to kill him.” Now those Jews involved in the conspiracy, along with the leaders as accomplices, are going to break one of the ten commandments.

[23:15]  ³¹ tn The words “this place” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
