Kisah Para Rasul 18:23

18:23 After he spent ⁷  some time there, Paul left and went through the region of Galatia ⁸  and Phrygia, ⁹  strengthening all the disciples.

[28:6]  ¹ tn Or “going to burn with fever.” According to BDAG 814 s.v. πίμπρημι, either meaning (“swell up” or “burn with fever”) is possible for Acts 28:6.

[28:6]  ² tn The participle προσδοκώντων (prosdokwntwn) has been taken temporally.

[28:6]  ³ tn The participle θεωρούντων (qewrountwn) has been taken temporally.

[28:6]  ⁴ tn Grk “happening.” The participle γινόμενον (ginomenon) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[28:6]  ⁵ tn Grk “changing their minds.” The participle μεταβαλόμενοι (metabalomenoi) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[28:6]  ⁶ sn And said he was a god. The reaction is like Acts 14:11-19 where the crowd wanted to make Paul and Barnabas into gods. The providence of God had protected Paul again.

[18:23]  ⁷ tn Grk “Having spent”; the participle ποιήσας (poihsas) is taken temporally.

[18:23]  ⁸ sn Galatia refers to either (1) the region of the old kingdom of Galatia in the central part of Asia Minor, or (2) the Roman province of Galatia, whose principal cities in the 1st century were Ancyra and Pisidian Antioch. The exact extent and meaning of this area has been a subject of considerable controversy in modern NT studies.

[18:23]  ⁹ sn Phrygia was a district in central Asia Minor west of Pisidia. See Acts 16:6.
