Kisah Para Rasul 2:13

2:13 But others jeered at the speakers, ¹  saying, “They are drunk on new wine!” ² 

Kisah Para Rasul 27:28

27:28 They took soundings ³  and found the water was twenty fathoms ⁴  deep; when they had sailed a little farther ⁵  they took soundings again and found it was fifteen fathoms ⁶  deep.

[2:13]  ¹ tn The words “the speakers” are not in the Greek text, but have been supplied for clarity. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[2:13]  ² tn Grk “They are full of new wine!”

[2:13]  sn New wine refers to a new, sweet wine in the process of fermentation.

[27:28]  ³ tn Grk “Heaving the lead, they found.” The participle βολίσαντες (bolisante") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. See also BDAG 180 s.v. βολίζω. Although the term is used twice in this verse (and thus is technically not a NT hapax legomenon), it occurs nowhere else in the NT.

[27:28]  ⁴ sn A fathom is about 6 feet or just under 2 meters (originally the length of a man’s outstretched arms). This was a nautical technical term for measuring the depth of water. Here it was about 120 ft (36 m).

[27:28]  ⁵ tn L&N 15.12, “βραχὺ δὲ διαστήσαντες ‘when they had gone a little farther’ Ac 27:28.”

[27:28]  ⁶ sn Here the depth was about 90 ft (27 m).
