Kisah Para Rasul 17:30

17:30 Therefore, although God has overlooked ⁸  such times of ignorance, ⁹  he now commands all people ¹⁰  everywhere to repent, ¹¹ 

[1:23]  ¹ tc Codex Bezae (D) and other Western witnesses have “he proposed,” referring to Peter, thus emphasizing his role above the other apostles. The Western text displays a conscious pattern of elevating Peter in Acts, and thus the singular verb here is a palpably motivated reading.

[1:23]  ² tn Grk “So they proposed two.” The word “candidates” was supplied in the text for clarity.

[2:28]  ³ sn A quotation from Ps 16:8-11.

[6:6]  ⁴ tn Literally this is a participle in the Greek text (προσευξάμενοι, proseuxamenoi). It could be translated as a finite verb (“and they prayed and placed their hands on them”) but much smoother English results if the entire coordinate clause is converted to a relative clause that refers back to the apostles.

[6:6]  sn Who prayed. The prayer indicates their acceptance and commissioning for ministry (cf. Deut 34:9).

[6:6]  ⁵ tn Or “laid.”

[14:2]  ⁶ tn Or “who would not believe.”

[14:2]  ⁷ tn Or “embittered their minds” (Grk “their souls”). BDAG 502 s.v. κακόω 2 has “make angry, embitter τὰς ψυχάς τινων κατά τινος poison the minds of some persons against another Ac 14:2.”

[17:30]  ⁸ tn Or “has deliberately paid no attention to.”

[17:30]  ⁹ tn Or “times when people did not know.”

[17:30]  ¹⁰ tn Here ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") has been translated as a generic noun (“people”).

[17:30]  ¹¹ sn He now commands all people everywhere to repent. God was now asking all mankind to turn to him. No nation or race was excluded.
