Kisah Para Rasul 21:38

21:38 Then you’re not that Egyptian who started a rebellion ⁷  and led the four thousand men of the ‘Assassins’ ⁸  into the wilderness ⁹  some time ago?” ¹⁰ 

[3:17]  ¹ sn The ignorance Peter mentions here does not excuse them from culpability. It was simply a way to say “you did not realize the great mistake you made.”

[18:21]  ² tn Or “but took leave of.”

[18:21]  ³ tn Grk “and saying”; the participle εἰπών (eipwn) has been translated as “added” rather than “said” to avoid redundancy with the previous “said farewell.” The participle εἰπών has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

It was the name of the most fanatical group among the Jewish nationalists, very hostile to Rome, who did not hesitate to assassinate their political opponents. They were named Sicarii in Latin after their weapon of choice, the short dagger or sicarius which could be easily hidden under one’s clothing. In effect, the officer who arrested Paul had thought he was dealing with a terrorist.

[21:38]  ⁹ tn Or “desert.”

[21:38]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “before these days.”
