Kisah Para Rasul 7:57

7:57 But they covered their ears, ¹  shouting out with a loud voice, and rushed at him with one intent.

Kisah Para Rasul 12:20

12:20 Now Herod ²  was having an angry quarrel ³  with the people of Tyre ⁴  and Sidon. ⁵  So they joined together ⁶  and presented themselves before him. And after convincing ⁷  Blastus, the king’s personal assistant, ⁸  to help them, ⁹  they asked for peace, ¹⁰  because their country’s food supply was provided by the king’s country.

Kisah Para Rasul 19:29

19:29 The ¹¹  city was filled with the uproar, ¹²  and the crowd ¹³  rushed to the theater ¹⁴  together, ¹⁵  dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, the Macedonians who were Paul’s traveling companions.

[7:57]  ¹ sn They covered their ears to avoid hearing what they considered to be blasphemy.

[12:20]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Herod) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:20]  sn Herod was Herod Agrippa I, the grandson of Herod I (Herod the Great).

[12:20]  ³ tn Or “was extremely angry.” L&N 33.453 gives the meaning “be angry and quarrel, quarrel angrily” here. However, in L&N 88.180 the alternative “to be violently angry, to be furious” is given. The term is used only once in the NT (BDAG 461 s.v. θυμομαχέω).

[12:20]  ⁴ sn Tyre was a city and seaport on the coast of Phoenicia.

[12:20]  map For location see Map1 A2; Map2 G2; Map4 A1; JP3 F3; JP4 F3.

[12:20]  ⁵ sn Sidon was an ancient Phoenician royal city on the coast between Berytus (Beirut) and Tyre (BDAG 923 s.v. Σιδών).

[12:20]  map For location see Map1 A1; JP3 F3; JP4 F3.

[12:20]  ⁶ tn Or “with one accord.”

[12:20]  ⁷ tn Or “persuading.”

[12:20]  ⁸ tn On the term translated “personal assistant” BDAG 554 s.v. κοιτῶν states, “used as part of a title: ὁ ἐπὶ τοῦ κοιτῶνος the one in charge of the bed-chamber, the chamberlain.” This individual was not just a domestic servant or butler, but a highly respected person who had considerable responsibility for the king’s living quarters and personal affairs. The English word “chamberlain” corresponds very closely to this meaning but is not in common use today. The term “personal assistant,” while it might convey more business associations than management of personal affairs, nevertheless communicates the concept well in contemporary English.

[12:20]  ⁹ tn The words “to help them” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.

[12:20]  ¹⁰ tn Or “for a reconciliation.” There were grave political risks in having Herod angry at them. The detail shows the ruler’s power.

[19:29]  ¹¹ tn Grk “And the.” 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.

[19:29]  ¹² tn L&N 39.43 has “‘the uproar spread throughout the whole city’ (literally ‘the city was filled with uproar’) Ac 19:29.” BDAG 954 s.v. σύγχυσις has “confusion, tumult.”

[19:29]  ¹³ tn Grk “they”; the referent (the crowd) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:29]  ¹⁴ sn To the theater. This location made the event a public spectacle. The Grand Theater in Ephesus (still standing today) stood facing down the main thoroughfare of the city toward the docks. It had a seating capacity of 25,000.

[19:29]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “to the theater with one accord.”
