Kisah Para Rasul 23:11

23:11 The following night the Lord ⁴  stood near ⁵  Paul ⁶  and said, “Have courage, ⁷  for just as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, ⁸  so you must also testify in Rome.” ⁹ 

[3:11]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:11]  ² tn Or “portico,” “colonnade”; Grk “stoa.” The translation “covered walkway” (a descriptive translation) was used here because the architectural term “portico” or “colonnade” is less familiar. However, the more technical term “portico” was retained in the actual name that follows.

[3:11]  ³ sn Solomon’s Portico was a covered walkway formed by rows of columns supporting a roof and open on the inner side facing the center of the temple complex. It was located on the east side of the temple (Josephus, Ant. 15.11.3-5 [15.391-420], 20.9.7 [20.221]) and was a place of commerce and conversation.

[23:11]  ⁴ sn The presence of the Lord indicated the vindicating presence and direction of God.

[23:11]  ⁵ tn Grk “standing near Paul, said.” The participle ἐπιστάς (epistas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[23:11]  ⁶ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[23:11]  ⁷ tn Or “Do not be afraid.”
