Kisah Para Rasul 25:4

25:4 Then Festus ¹²  replied that Paul was being kept at Caesarea, ¹³  and he himself intended to go there ¹⁴  shortly.

[2:24]  ¹ tn Grk “Whom God raised up.”

[2:24]  ² tn Or “having freed.”

[2:24]  ³ sn The term translated pains is frequently used to describe pains associated with giving birth (see Rev 12:2). So there is irony here in the mixed metaphor.

[2:24]  ⁴ tn Or “for him to be held by it” (in either case, “it” refers to death’s power).

[3:1]  ⁵ tn Grk “hour.”

[3:1]  ⁶ sn Going up to the temple at the time for prayer. The earliest Christians, being of Jewish roots, were still participating in the institutions of Judaism at this point. Their faith in Christ did not make them non-Jewish in their practices.

[3:1]  ⁷ tn Grk “at the ninth hour.” This is calculated from sunrise (Josephus, Ant. 14.4.3 [14.65]; Dan 9:21).

[7:25]  ⁸ tn Grk “his brothers.”

[7:25]  ⁹ tn Grk “was granting them deliverance.” The narrator explains that this act pictured what Moses could do for his people.

[7:25]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “by his hand,” where the hand is a metaphor for the entire person.

[7:25]  ¹¹ sn They did not understand. Here is the theme of the speech. The people did not understand what God was doing through those he chose. They made the same mistake with Joseph at first. See Acts 3:17; 13:27. There is good precedent for this kind of challenging review of history in the ancient scriptures: Ps 106:6-46; Ezek 20; and Neh 9:6-38.

[25:4]  ¹² sn See the note on Porcius Festus in 24:27.

[25:4]  ¹³ sn Caesarea was a city on the coast of Palestine south of Mount Carmel (not Caesarea Philippi). See the note on Caesarea in Acts 10:1.

[25:4]  ¹⁴ tn The word “there” is not in the Greek text but is implied.
