Kisah Para Rasul 9:6

9:6 But stand up ¹  and enter the city and you will be told ²  what you must do.”

Kisah Para Rasul 16:29-31

16:29 Calling for lights, the jailer ³  rushed in and fell down ⁴  trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas. 16:30 Then he brought them outside ⁵  and asked, “Sirs, what must ⁶  I do to be saved?” 16:31 They replied, ⁷  “Believe ⁸  in the Lord Jesus ⁹  and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Kisah Para Rasul 26:19

26:19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, ¹⁰  I was not disobedient ¹¹  to the heavenly ¹²  vision,

[9:6]  ¹ tn Or “But arise.”

[9:6]  ² tn Literally a passive construction, “it will be told to you.” This has been converted to another form of passive construction in the translation.

[16:29]  ³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the jailer) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:29]  ⁴ tn Or “and prostrated himself.”

[16:29]  sn Fell down. The earthquake and the freeing of the prisoners showed that God’s power was present. Such power could only be recognized. The open doors opened the jailer’s heart.

[16:30]  ⁵ tn Grk “And bringing them outside, he asked.” The participle προαγαγών (proagagwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. Because of the length of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun by supplying the conjunction “then” to indicate the logical sequence.

[16:30]  ⁶ tn The Greek term (δεῖ, dei) is used by Luke to represent divine necessity.

[16:31]  ⁷ tn Grk “said.”

[16:31]  ⁸ sn Here the summary term of response is a call to believe. In this context it refers to trusting the sovereign God’s power to deliver, which events had just pictured for the jailer.

[16:31]  ⁹ tc The majority of mss add Χριστόν (Criston, “Christ”) here (C D E Ψ 1739 Ï sy sa), but the best and earliest witnesses read simply τὸν κύριον ᾿Ιησοῦν (ton kurion Ihsoun, “the Lord Jesus”; Ì^74vid א A B 33 81 pc bo). The addition of “Christ” to “Lord Jesus” is an obviously motivated reading. Thus on both external and internal grounds, the shorter reading is strongly preferred.

[26:19]  ¹⁰ sn See the note on King Agrippa in 25:13.

[26:19]  ¹¹ sn I was not disobedient. Paul’s defense is that he merely obeyed the risen Jesus. He was arrested for obeying heavenly direction and preaching the opportunity to turn to God.

[26:19]  ¹² tn According to L&N 1.5, “In Ac 26:19 the adjective οὐράνιος could be interpreted as being related simply to the meaning of οὐρανός^a ‘sky,’ but it seems preferable to regard οὐράνιος in this context as meaning simply ‘from heaven’ or ‘heavenly.’”
