Kisah Para Rasul 5:7

5:7 After an interval of about three hours, ¹  his wife came in, but she did not know ²  what had happened.

Kisah Para Rasul 13:12

13:12 Then when the proconsul ³  saw what had happened, he believed, ⁴  because he was greatly astounded ⁵  at the teaching about ⁶  the Lord.

[5:7]  ¹ tn Grk “It happened that after an interval of about three hours.” 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.

[5:7]  ² tn Grk “came in, not knowing.” The participle has been translated with concessive or adversative force: “although she did not know.” In English, the adversative conjunction (“but”) conveys this nuance more smoothly.

[13:12]  ³ sn See the note on proconsul in v. 8.

[13:12]  ⁴ sn He believed. The faith of the proconsul in the face of Jewish opposition is a theme of the rest of Acts. Paul has indeed become “a light to the Gentiles” (Acts 13:47).

[13:12]  ⁵ tn The translation “greatly astounded” for ἐκπλησσόμενος (ekplhssomeno") is given by L&N 25.219.

[13:12]  ⁶ tn Grk “of,” but this could give the impression the Lord himself had done the teaching (a subjective genitive) when actually the Lord was the object of the teaching (an objective genitive).
