Kisah Para Rasul 7:41

7:41 At ¹  that time ²  they made an idol in the form of a calf, ³  brought ⁴  a sacrifice to the idol, and began rejoicing ⁵  in the works of their hands. ⁶ 

Kisah Para Rasul 19:26

19:26 And you see and hear that this Paul has persuaded ⁷  and turned away ⁸  a large crowd, ⁹  not only in Ephesus ¹⁰  but in practically all of the province of Asia, ¹¹  by saying ¹²  that gods made by hands are not gods at all. ¹³ 

[7:41]  ¹ tn Grk “And.” 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.

[7:41]  ² tn Grk “In those days.”

[7:41]  ³ tn Or “a bull calf” (see Exod 32:4-6). The term μοσχοποιέω (moscopoiew) occurs only in Christian writings according to BDAG 660 s.v.

[7:41]  ⁴ tn Grk “and brought,” but 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.

[7:41]  ⁵ tn The imperfect verb εὐφραίνοντο (eufrainonto) has been translated ingressively. See BDAG 414-15 s.v. εὐφραίνω 2.

[7:41]  ⁶ tn Or “in what they had done.”

[19:26]  ⁷ tn Grk “persuading.” The participle πείσας (peisa") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[19:26]  ⁸ tn Or “misled.”

[19:26]  ⁹ tn BDAG 472 s.v. ἱκανός 3.a has “of pers. ὄχλος a large crowd…Ac 11:24, 26; 19:26.”

[19:26]  ¹⁰ map For location see JP1 D2; JP2 D2; JP3 D2; JP4 D2.

[19:26]  ¹¹ tn Grk “Asia”; see the note on this word in v. 22.

[19:26]  ¹² tn The participle λέγων (legwn) has been regarded as indicating instrumentality.

[19:26]  ¹³ tn The words “at all” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

[19:26]  sn Gods made by hands are not gods at all. Paul preached against paganism’s idolatry. Here is a one-line summary of a speech like that in Acts 17:22-31.
