Kisah Para Rasul 9:38

9:38 Because Lydda ⁵  was near Joppa, when the disciples heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him and urged him, “Come to us without delay.” ⁶ 

Kisah Para Rasul 9:42-43

9:42 This became known throughout all ⁷  Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. ⁸  9:43 So ⁹  Peter ¹⁰  stayed many days in Joppa with a man named ¹¹  Simon, a tanner. ¹² 

Kisah Para Rasul 10:5

10:5 Now ¹³  send men to Joppa ¹⁴  and summon a man named Simon, ¹⁵  who is called Peter.

Kisah Para Rasul 10:8-9

10:8 and when he had explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

10:9 About noon ¹⁶  the next day, while they were on their way and approaching ¹⁷  the city, Peter went up on the roof ¹⁸  to pray.

Kisah Para Rasul 10:23

10:23 So Peter ¹⁹  invited them in and entertained them as guests.

On the next day he got up and set out ²⁰  with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa ²¹  accompanied him.

Kisah Para Rasul 11:5

11:5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, ²⁹  an object something like a large sheet descending, ³⁰  being let down from heaven ³¹  by its four corners, and it came to me.

Kisah Para Rasul 11:13

11:13 He informed us how he had seen an angel standing in his house and saying, ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter,

[9:36]  ¹ sn Joppa was a seaport on the Philistine coast, in the same location as modern Jaffa. “Though Joppa never became a major seaport, it was of some importance as a logistical base and an outlet to the Mediterranean” (A. F. Rainey, ISBE 2:1118-19).

[9:36]  ² tn Grk “which being translated is called.” In English this would normally be expressed “which is translated as” or “which in translation means.” The second option is given by L&N 33.145.

[9:36]  ³ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author. Dorcas is the Greek translation of the Aramaic name Tabitha. Dorcas in Greek means “gazelle” or “deer.”

[9:36]  ⁴ tn Or “and helping the poor.” Grk “She was full of good deeds and acts of charity which she was continually doing.” Since it is somewhat redundant in English to say “she was full of good deeds…which she was continually doing,” the translation has been simplified to “she was continually doing good deeds and acts of charity.” The imperfect verb ἐποίει (epoiei) has been translated as a progressive imperfect (“was continually doing”).

[9:38]  ⁵ sn Lydda was a city northwest of Jerusalem on the way to Joppa.

[9:38]  ⁶ tn Grk “Do not delay to come to us.” It is somewhat smoother to say in English, “Come to us without delay.”

[9:42]  ⁷ tn Or “known all over.” BDAG 511 s.v. κατά A.1.c. has “became known throughout all Joppa” for γνωστὸν γενέσθαι καθ᾿ ὅλης ᾿Ιόππης (gnwston genesqai kaq’ {olh" Iopph").

[9:42]  ⁸ sn This became known…many believed in the Lord. This is a “sign” miracle that pictures how the Lord can give life.

[9:43]  ⁹ tn Grk “So it happened that.” 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.

[9:43]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:43]  ¹¹ tn Grk “with a certain Simon.”

[9:43]  ¹² tn Or “with a certain Simon Berseus.” Although most modern English translations treat βυρσεῖ (bursei) as Simon’s profession (“Simon the tanner”), it is possible that the word is actually Simon’s surname (“Simon Berseus” or “Simon Tanner”). BDAG 185 s.v. βυρσεύς regards it as a surname. See also MM 118.

[10:5]  ¹³ 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.

[10:5]  ¹⁴ sn Joppa was a seaport on the Philistine coast, in the same location as modern Jaffa.

[10:5]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “a certain Simon.”

[10:9]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “about the sixth hour.”

[10:9]  ¹⁷ tn The participles ὁδοιπορούντων (Jodoiporountwn, “while they were on their way”) and ἐγγιζόντων (engizontwn, “approaching”) have been translated as temporal participles.

[10:9]  ¹⁸ sn Went up on the roof. Most of the roofs in the NT were flat roofs made of pounded dirt, sometimes mixed with lime or stones, supported by heavy wooden beams. They generally had an easy means of access, either a sturdy wooden ladder or stone stairway, sometimes on the outside of the house.

[10:23]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:23]  sn When Peter entertained them as guests, he performed a culturally significant act denoting acceptance.

[10:23]  ²⁰ tn Or “went forth.”

[10:23]  ²¹ sn Some of the brothers from Joppa. As v. 45 makes clear, there were Jewish Christians in this group of witnesses.

[10:32]  ²² tn Or “with a certain Simon Berseus.” Although most modern English translations treat βυρσεῖ (bursei) as Simon’s profession (“Simon the tanner”), it is possible that the word is actually Simon’s surname (“Simon Berseus” or “Simon Tanner”). BDAG 185 s.v. βυρσεύς regards it as a surname.

[10:45]  ²³ 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.

[10:45]  ²⁴ tn Or “The Jewish Christians”; Grk “The believers from the circumcision.”

[10:45]  ²⁵ sn The Jewish Christians who were with Peter were greatly astonished because they thought the promise of the Spirit would be limited only to those of Israel. God’s plan was taking on fresh dimensions even as it was a reflection of what the prophets had promised.

[10:45]  ²⁶ tn Or “because.”

[10:45]  ²⁷ tn That is, the gift consisting of the Holy Spirit. Here τοῦ πνεύματος (tou pneumato") is a genitive of apposition; the gift consists of the Spirit.

[10:45]  ²⁸ sn The gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out. Compare the account in Acts 2, especially 2:33. Note also Joel 2:17-21 and Acts 11:15-18.

[11:5]  ²⁹ tn This term describes a supernatural vision and reflects a clear distinction from something imagined (BDAG 718 s.v. ὅραμα 1). Peter repeated the story virtually word for word through v. 13. The repetition with this degree of detail shows the event’s importance.

[11:5]  ³⁰ tn Or “coming down.”

[11:5]  ³¹ tn Or “the sky” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”).
