Kisah Para Rasul 2:22

2:22 “Men of Israel, ¹  listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man clearly attested to you by God with powerful deeds, ²  wonders, and miraculous signs ³  that God performed among you through him, just as you yourselves know –

Kisah Para Rasul 5:15-16

5:15 Thus ⁴  they even carried the sick out into the streets, and put them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow would fall on some of them. 5:16 A crowd of people from the towns around Jerusalem ⁵  also came together, bringing the sick and those troubled by unclean spirits. ⁶  They ⁷  were all ⁸  being healed.

Kisah Para Rasul 19:11-12

The Seven Sons of Sceva

19:11 God was performing extraordinary ⁹  miracles by Paul’s hands, 19:12 so that when even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his body ¹⁰  were brought ¹¹  to the sick, their diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them. ¹² 

[2:22]  ¹ 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]  ² tn Or “miraculous deeds.”

[2:22]  ³ tn Again, the context indicates the miraculous nature of these signs, and this is specified in the translation.

[5:15]  ⁴ tn This is a continuation of the preceding sentence in Greek, but because this would produce an awkward sentence in English, a new sentence was begun here in the translation.

[5:16]  ⁶ sn Unclean spirits refers to evil spirits.

[5:16]  ⁷ tn Literally a relative pronoun, “who.” In English, however, a relative clause (“bringing the sick and those troubled by unclean spirits, who were all being healed”) could be understood to refer only to the second group (meaning only those troubled by unclean spirits were being healed) or even that the unclean spirits were being healed. To avoid this ambiguity the pronoun “they” was used to begin a new English sentence.

[5:16]  ⁸ sn They were all being healed. Note how the healings that the apostles provided were comprehensive in their consistency.

[19:11]  ⁹ tn BDAG 1019 s.v. τυγχάνω 2.d states, “δυνάμεις οὐ τὰς τυχούσας extraordinary miracles Ac 19:11.”

[19:12]  ¹⁰ tn Or “skin” (the outer surface of the body).

[19:12]  ¹¹ tn Or “were taken.” It might be that as word went out into the region that since the sick could not come to Paul, healing was brought to them this way. The “handkerchiefs” are probably face cloths for wiping perspiration (see BDAG 934 s.v. σουδάριον) while the “aprons” might be material worn by workmen (BDAG 923-24 s.v. σιμικίνθιον).

[19:12]  ¹² tn The words “of them” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
