Kisah Para Rasul 1:22

1:22 beginning from his baptism by John until the day he ¹  was taken up from us – one of these must become a witness of his resurrection together with us.”

Kisah Para Rasul 13:24-25

13:24 Before ²  Jesus ³  arrived, John ⁴  had proclaimed a baptism for repentance ⁵  to all the people of Israel. 13:25 But while John was completing his mission, ⁶  he said repeatedly, ⁷  ‘What do you think I am? I am not he. But look, one is coming after me. I am not worthy to untie the sandals on his feet!’ ⁸ 

[1:22]  ¹ tn Here the pronoun “he” refers to Jesus.

[13:24]  ² tn Grk “John having already proclaimed before his coming a baptism…,” a genitive absolute construction which is awkward in English. A new sentence was begun in the translation at this point.

[13:24]  ³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the context for clarity, since God is mentioned in the preceding context and John the Baptist in the following clause.

[13:24]  ⁴ sn John refers here to John the Baptist.

[13:24]  ⁵ tn Grk “a baptism of repentance”; the genitive has been translated as a genitive of purpose.

[13:25]  ⁶ tn Or “task.”

[13:25]  ⁷ tn The verb ἔλεγεν (elegen) has been translated as an iterative imperfect, since John undoubtedly said this or something similar on numerous occasions.

[13:25]  ⁸ tn Literally a relative clause, “of whom I am not worthy to untie the sandals of his feet.” Because of the awkwardness of this construction in English, a new sentence was begun here.
