Kisah Para Rasul 4:21

4:21 After threatening them further, they released them, for they could not find how to punish them on account of the people, because they were all praising ¹  God for what had happened.

Kisah Para Rasul 7:34-35

7:34 I have certainly seen the suffering ²  of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their groaning, and I have come down to rescue them. ³  Now ⁴  come, I will send you to Egypt.’ ⁵  7:35 This same ⁶  Moses they had rejected, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and judge?’ ⁷  God sent as both ruler and deliverer ⁸  through the hand of the angel ⁹  who appeared to him in the bush.

Kisah Para Rasul 9:2

9:2 and requested letters from him to the synagogues ¹⁰  in Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, ¹¹  either men or women, he could bring them as prisoners ¹²  to Jerusalem. ¹³ 

Kisah Para Rasul 17:31

17:31 because he has set ¹⁴  a day on which he is going to judge the world ¹⁵  in righteousness, by a man whom he designated, ¹⁶  having provided proof to everyone by raising ¹⁷  him from the dead.”

Kisah Para Rasul 20:4

20:4 Paul ¹⁸  was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, ¹⁹  Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, ²⁰  Gaius ²¹  from Derbe, ²²  and Timothy, as well as Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia. ²³ 

Kisah Para Rasul 21:5

21:5 When ²⁴  our time was over, ²⁵  we left and went on our way. All of them, with their wives and children, accompanied ²⁶  us outside of the city. After ²⁷  kneeling down on the beach and praying, ²⁸ 

Kisah Para Rasul 23:10

23:10 When the argument became ²⁹  so great the commanding officer ³⁰  feared that they would tear Paul to pieces, ³¹  he ordered the detachment ³²  to go down, take him away from them by force, ³³  and bring him into the barracks. ³⁴ 

Kisah Para Rasul 23:15

23:15 So now you and the council ³⁵  request the commanding officer ³⁶  to bring him down to you, as if you were going to determine ³⁷  his case ³⁸  by conducting a more thorough inquiry. ³⁹  We are ready to kill him ⁴⁰  before he comes near this place.” ⁴¹ 

[4:21]  ¹ tn Or “glorifying.”

[7:34]  ² tn Or “mistreatment.”

[7:34]  ³ tn Or “to set them free.”

[7:34]  ⁴ tn Grk “And now.” 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.

[7:34]  ⁵ sn A quotation from Exod 3:7-8, 10.

[7:35]  ⁶ sn This same. The reference to “this one” occurs five times in this speech. It is the way the other speeches in Acts refer to Jesus (e.g., Acts 2:23).

[7:35]  ⁷ sn A quotation from Exod 2:14 (see Acts 7:27). God saw Moses very differently than the people of the nation did. The reference to a ruler and a judge suggests that Stephen set up a comparison between Moses and Jesus, but he never finished his speech to make the point. The reader of Acts, however, knowing the other sermons in the book, recognizes that the rejection of Jesus is the counterpoint.

[7:35]  ⁸ tn Or “liberator.” The meaning “liberator” for λυτρωτήν (lutrwthn) is given in L&N 37.129: “a person who liberates or releases others.”

[7:35]  ⁹ tn Or simply “through the angel.” Here the “hand” could be understood as a figure for the person or the power of the angel himself. The remark about the angel appearing fits the first century Jewish view that God appears to no one (John 1:14-18; Gal 3:19; Deut 33:2 LXX).

[9:2]  ¹⁰ sn See the note on synagogue in 6:9.

[9:2]  ¹¹ sn The expression “the way” in ancient religious literature refers at times to “the whole way of life fr. a moral and spiritual viewpoint” (BDAG 692 s.v. ὁδός 3.c), and it has been so used of Christianity and its teachings in the book of Acts (see also 19:9, 23; 22:4; 24:14, 22). It is a variation of Judaism’s idea of two ways, the true and the false, where “the Way” is the true one (1 En. 91:18; 2 En. 30:15).

[9:2]  ¹² tn Grk “bring them bound”; the translation “bring someone as prisoner” for δεδεμένον ἄγειν τινά (dedemenon agein tina) is given by BDAG 221 s.v. δέω 1.b.

[9:2]  ¹³ sn From Damascus to Jerusalem was a six-day journey. Christianity had now expanded into Syria.

[17:31]  ¹⁴ tn Or “fixed.”

[17:31]  ¹⁵ sn The world refers to the whole inhabited earth.

[17:31]  ¹⁶ tn Or “appointed.” BDAG 723 s.v. ὁρίζω 2.b has “of persons appoint, designate, declare: God judges the world ἐν ἀνδρὶ ᾧ ὥρισεν through a man whom he has appointed Ac 17:31.”

[17:31]  sn A man whom he designated. Jesus is put in the position of eschatological judge. As judge of the living and the dead, he possesses divine authority (Acts 10:42).

[17:31]  ¹⁷ tn The participle ἀναστήσας (anasthsa") indicates means here.

[20:4]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “He”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:4]  ¹⁹ sn Berea (alternate spelling in NRSV Beroea; Greek Beroia) was a very old city in Macedonia on the river Astraeus about 45 mi (75 km) from Thessalonica.

[20:4]  map For location see JP1 C1; JP2 C1; JP3 C1; JP4 C1.

[20:4]  ²⁰ tn Grk “of the Thessalonians.”

[20:4]  map For location see JP1 C1; JP2 C1; JP3 C1; JP4 C1.

[20:4]  ²¹ tn Grk “and Gaius,” but this 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.

[20:4]  ²² sn Derbe was a city in Lycaonia about 30 mi (50 km) southeast of Lystra.

[20:4]  map For location see JP1 E2; JP2 E2; JP3 E2.

[20:4]  ²³ tn Grk “the Asians Tychicus and Trophimus.” In the NT “Asia” always refers to the Roman province of Asia, made up of about one-third of the west and southwest end of modern Asia Minor. Asia lay to the west of the region of Phrygia and Galatia. The words “the province of” are supplied to indicate to the modern reader that this does not refer to the continent of Asia.

[21:5]  ²⁴ tn Grk “It happened that when.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[21:5]  ²⁵ tn Grk “When our days were over.” L&N 67.71 has “ὅτε δὲ ἐγένετο ἡμᾶς ἐξαρτίσαι τὰς ἡμέρας ‘when we brought that time to an end’ or ‘when our time with them was over’ Ac 21:5.”

[21:5]  ²⁶ tn Grk “accompanying.” Due to the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was begun in the translation and the participle προπεμπόντων (propempontwn) translated as a finite verb.

[21:5]  ²⁷ tn Grk “city, and after.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun.

[21:5]  ²⁸ sn On praying in Acts, see 1:14, 24; 2:47; 4:23; 6:6; 10:2; 12:5, 12; 13:3; 16:25.

[23:10]  ²⁹ tn This genitive absolute construction with the participle γινομένης (ginomenhs) has been taken temporally (it could also be translated as causal).

[23:10]  ³⁰ tn Grk “the chiliarch” (an officer in command of a thousand soldiers). In Greek the term χιλίαρχος (ciliarco") literally described the “commander of a thousand,” but it was used as the standard translation for the Latin tribunus militum or tribunus militare, the military tribune who commanded a cohort of 600 men.

[23:10]  ³¹ tn Grk “that Paul would be torn to pieces by them.” BDAG 236 s.v. διασπάω has “of an angry mob μὴ διασπασθῇ ὁ Παῦλος ὑπ᾿ αὐτῶν that Paul would be torn in pieces by them Ac 23:10.” The passive construction is somewhat awkward in English and has been converted to an equivalent active construction in the translation.

[23:10]  ³² tn Normally this term means “army,” but according to BDAG 947 s.v. στράτευμα, “Of a smaller detachment of soldiers, sing. Ac 23:10, 27.” In the plural it can be translated “troops,” but it is singular here.

[23:10]  ³³ tn Or “to go down, grab him out of their midst.”

[23:10]  ³⁴ tn Or “the headquarters.” BDAG 775 s.v. παρεμβολή 2 has “barracks/headquarters of the Roman troops in Jerusalem Ac 21:34, 37; 22:24; 23:10, 16, 32.”

[23:15]  ³⁵ tn Grk “the Sanhedrin” (the Sanhedrin was the highest legal, legislative, and judicial body among the Jews).

[23:15]  ³⁶ tn Grk “the chiliarch” (an officer in command of a thousand soldiers). See note on the term “commanding officer” in v. 10.

[23:15]  ³⁷ 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]  ³⁸ tn Grk “determine the things about him.”

[23:15]  ³⁹ tn The expression “more thorough inquiry” reflects the comparative form of ἀκριβέστερον (akribesteron).

[23:15]  ⁴⁰ 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]  ⁴¹ tn The words “this place” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.
