Kisah Para Rasul 4:21

4:21 After threatening them further, they released them, for they could not find how to punish them on account of the people, because they were all praising ¹  God for what had happened.

Kisah Para Rasul 15:2

15:2 When Paul and Barnabas had a major argument and debate ²  with them, the church ³  appointed Paul and Barnabas and some others from among them to go up to meet with ⁴  the apostles and elders in Jerusalem ⁵  about this point of disagreement. ⁶ 

Kisah Para Rasul 15:23

15:23 They sent this letter with them: ⁷ 

From the apostles ⁸  and elders, your brothers, ⁹  to the Gentile brothers and sisters ¹⁰  in Antioch, ¹¹  Syria, ¹²  and Cilicia, greetings!

[4:21]  ¹ tn Or “glorifying.”

[15:2]  ² tn Grk “no little argument and debate” (an idiom).

[15:2]  ³ tn Grk “they”; the referent (the church, or the rest of the believers at Antioch) has been specified to avoid confusion with the Judaizers mentioned in the preceding clause.

[15:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “go up to,” but in this context a meeting is implied.

[15:2]  ⁵ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[15:2]  ⁶ tn Or “point of controversy.” It is unclear whether this event parallels Gal 2:1-10 or that Gal 2 fits with Acts 11:30. More than likely Gal 2:1-10 is to be related to Acts 11:30.

[15:23]  ⁷ tn Grk “writing by their hand” (an idiom for sending a letter).

[15:23]  ⁸ tn Grk “The apostles.” The word “from” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the sender of the letter.

[15:23]  ⁹ tn Grk “brothers,” but “your” is supplied to specify the relationship, since without it “brothers” could be understood as vocative in English.

[15:23]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “to the brothers who are from the Gentiles.”

[15:23]  ¹¹ sn Antioch was a city in Syria (not Antioch in Pisidia).

[15:23]  ¹² tn Grk “and Syria,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
