21:9 (He had four unmarried ⁴  daughters who prophesied.) ⁵ 

Kisah Para Rasul 2:17

2:17 ‘And in the last days ⁶  it will be,’ God says,

‘that I will pour out my Spirit on all people, ⁷ 

and your sons and your daughters will prophesy,

and your young men will see visions,

and your old men will dream dreams.

[7:21]  ¹ tn Or “exposed” (see v. 19).

[7:21]  ² tn Grk “Pharaoh’s daughter took him up for herself.” According to BDAG 64 s.v. ἀναιρέω, “The pap. exx. involve exposed children taken up and reared as slaves…The rendering ‘adopt’ lacks philological precision and can be used only in a loose sense (as NRSV), esp. when Gr-Rom. terminology relating to adoption procedures is taken into account.” In this instance both the immediate context and the OT account (Exod 2:3-10) do support the normal sense of the English word “adopt,” although it should not be understood to refer to a technical, legal event.

[7:21]  ³ tn Or “and reared him” (BDAG 74 s.v. ἀνατρέφω b).

[21:9]  ⁴ tn Grk “virgin.” While the term παρθένος (parqeno") can refer to a woman who has never had sexual relations, the emphasis in this context seems to be on the fact that Philip’s daughters were not married (L&N 9.39).

[21:9]  ⁵ sn This is best taken as a parenthetical note by the author. Luke again noted women who were gifted in the early church (see Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History 3.31; 3.39).

[2:17]  ⁶ sn The phrase in the last days is not quoted from Joel, but represents Peter’s interpretive explanation of the current events as falling “in the last days.”

[2:17]  ⁷ tn Grk “on all flesh.”
