Kisah Para Rasul 12:10

12:10 After they had passed the first and second guards, ¹  they came to the iron ²  gate leading into the city. It ³  opened for them by itself, ⁴  and they went outside and walked down one narrow street, ⁵  when at once the angel left him.

Kisah Para Rasul 15:2

15:2 When Paul and Barnabas had a major argument and debate ⁶  with them, the church ⁷  appointed Paul and Barnabas and some others from among them to go up to meet with ⁸  the apostles and elders in Jerusalem ⁹  about this point of disagreement. ¹⁰ 

[12:10]  ¹ tn Or perhaps, “guard posts.”

[12:10]  ² sn The iron gate shows how important security was here. This door was more secure than one made of wood (which would be usual).

[12:10]  ³ tn Grk “which.” The relative pronoun (“which”) was replaced by the pronoun “it,” and a new sentence was begun in the translation at this point to improve the English style, due to the length of the sentence in Greek.

[12:10]  ⁴ tn The Greek term here, αὐτομάτη (automath), indicates something that happens without visible cause (BDAG 152 s.v. αὐτόματος).

[12:10]  ⁵ tn Or “lane,” “alley” (BDAG 907 s.v. ῥύμη).

[15:2]  ⁶ tn Grk “no little argument and debate” (an idiom).

[15:2]  ⁷ tn Grk “they”; the referent (the church, or the rest of the believers at Antioch) has been specified to avoid confusion with the Judaizers mentioned in the preceding clause.

[15:2]  ⁸ tn Grk “go up to,” but in this context a meeting is implied.

[15:2]  ⁹ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[15:2]  ¹⁰ tn Or “point of controversy.” It is unclear whether this event parallels Gal 2:1-10 or that Gal 2 fits with Acts 11:30. More than likely Gal 2:1-10 is to be related to Acts 11:30.
