Kisah Para Rasul 2:6

2:6 When this sound ¹  occurred, a crowd gathered and was in confusion, ²  because each one heard them speaking in his own language.

Kisah Para Rasul 16:31

16:31 They replied, ³  “Believe ⁴  in the Lord Jesus ⁵  and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Kisah Para Rasul 22:21

22:21 Then ⁶  he said to me, ‘Go, because I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”

Kisah Para Rasul 24:12

24:12 They did not find me arguing ⁷  with anyone or stirring up a crowd ⁸  in the temple courts ⁹  or in the synagogues ¹⁰  or throughout the city, ¹¹ 

[2:6]  ¹ tn Or “this noise.”

[2:6]  ² tn Or “was bewildered.”

[16:31]  ³ tn Grk “said.”

[16:31]  ⁴ sn Here the summary term of response is a call to believe. In this context it refers to trusting the sovereign God’s power to deliver, which events had just pictured for the jailer.

[16:31]  ⁵ tc The majority of mss add Χριστόν (Criston, “Christ”) here (C D E Ψ 1739 Ï sy sa), but the best and earliest witnesses read simply τὸν κύριον ᾿Ιησοῦν (ton kurion Ihsoun, “the Lord Jesus”; Ì^74vid א A B 33 81 pc bo). The addition of “Christ” to “Lord Jesus” is an obviously motivated reading. Thus on both external and internal grounds, the shorter reading is strongly preferred.

[22:21]  ⁶ tn Grk “And.” Since this represents a response to Paul’s reply in v. 19, καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the logical sequence.

[24:12]  ⁷ tn Or “disputing,” “conducting a heated discussion.”

[24:12]  ⁸ tn BDAG 381 s.v. ἐπίστασις 2 has “ἐ. ποιεῖν ὄχλου to cause a crowd to gather Ac 24:12.” Roman authorities would not allow a mob to gather and threaten the peace, and anyone suspected of instigating a mob would certainly be arrested.

[24:12]  ⁹ tn Grk “in the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.

[24:12]  ¹⁰ sn See the note on synagogue in 6:9.

[24:12]  ¹¹ sn A second part of Paul’s defense is that he did nothing while he was in Jerusalem to cause unrest, neither arguing nor stirring up a crowd in the temple courts or in the synagogues or throughout the city.
