Kisah Para Rasul 15:6

15:6 Both the apostles and the elders met together to deliberate ¹  about this matter.

Kisah Para Rasul 15:23

15:23 They sent this letter with them: ² 

From the apostles ³  and elders, your brothers, ⁴  to the Gentile brothers and sisters ⁵  in Antioch, ⁶  Syria, ⁷  and Cilicia, greetings!

[15:6]  ¹ tn The translation for ἰδεῖν (idein) in this verse is given by BDAG 279-80 s.v. εἶδον 3 as “deliberate concerning this matter.” A contemporary idiom would be to “look into” a matter.

[15:23]  ² tn Grk “writing by their hand” (an idiom for sending a letter).

[15:23]  ³ tn Grk “The apostles.” The word “from” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the sender of the letter.

[15:23]  ⁴ tn Grk “brothers,” but “your” is supplied to specify the relationship, since without it “brothers” could be understood as vocative in English.

[15:23]  ⁵ tn Grk “to the brothers who are from the Gentiles.”

[15:23]  ⁶ sn Antioch was a city in Syria (not Antioch in Pisidia).

[15:23]  ⁷ tn Grk “and Syria,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
