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 

[4:24]  ¹ sn With one mind. Compare Acts 1:14.

[4:24]  ² tn Or “Lord of all.”

[4:24]  sn The use of the title Master of all (δεσπότης, despoths) emphasizes that there is a sovereign God who is directing what is taking place.

[4:24]  ³ tn Grk “and the earth, and the sea,” but καί (kai) has not been translated before “the earth” and “the sea” since contemporary English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[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.”
