Kisah Para Rasul 7:35

7:35 This same ¹  Moses they had rejected, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and judge?’ ²  God sent as both ruler and deliverer ³  through the hand of the angel ⁴  who appeared to him in the bush.

Kisah Para Rasul 9:39

9:39 So Peter got up and went with them, and ⁵  when he arrived ⁶  they brought him to the upper room. All ⁷  the widows stood beside him, crying and showing him ⁸  the tunics ⁹  and other clothing ¹⁰  Dorcas used to make ¹¹  while she was with them.

Kisah Para Rasul 14:3

14:3 So they stayed there ¹²  for a considerable time, speaking out courageously for the Lord, who testified ¹³  to the message ¹⁴  of his grace, granting miraculous signs ¹⁵  and wonders to be performed through their hands.

Kisah Para Rasul 26:13

26:13 about noon along the road, Your Majesty, ¹⁶  I saw a light from heaven, ¹⁷  brighter than the sun, shining everywhere around ¹⁸  me and those traveling with me.

Kisah Para Rasul 27:21

27:21 Since many of them had no desire to eat, ¹⁹  Paul ²⁰  stood up ²¹  among them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me ²²  and not put out to sea ²³  from Crete, thus avoiding ²⁴  this damage and loss.

Kisah Para Rasul 27:33

27:33 As day was about to dawn, ²⁵  Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day you have been in suspense ²⁶  and have gone ²⁷  without food; you have eaten nothing. ²⁸ 

[7:35]  ¹ sn This same. The reference to “this one” occurs five times in this speech. It is the way the other speeches in Acts refer to Jesus (e.g., Acts 2:23).

[7:35]  ² sn A quotation from Exod 2:14 (see Acts 7:27). God saw Moses very differently than the people of the nation did. The reference to a ruler and a judge suggests that Stephen set up a comparison between Moses and Jesus, but he never finished his speech to make the point. The reader of Acts, however, knowing the other sermons in the book, recognizes that the rejection of Jesus is the counterpoint.

[7:35]  ³ tn Or “liberator.” The meaning “liberator” for λυτρωτήν (lutrwthn) is given in L&N 37.129: “a person who liberates or releases others.”

[7:35]  ⁴ tn Or simply “through the angel.” Here the “hand” could be understood as a figure for the person or the power of the angel himself. The remark about the angel appearing fits the first century Jewish view that God appears to no one (John 1:14-18; Gal 3:19; Deut 33:2 LXX).

[9:39]  ⁵ tn Grk “who.” The relative clause makes for awkward English style here, so the following clause was made coordinate with the conjunction “and” supplied in place of the Greek relative pronoun.

[9:39]  ⁶ tn The participle παραγενόμενον (paragenomenon) is taken temporally.

[9:39]  ⁷ tn Grk “and all.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun.

[9:39]  ⁸ tn The word “him” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.

[9:39]  ⁹ tn Or “shirts” (a long garment worn under the cloak next to the skin). The name for this garment (χιτών, citwn) presents some difficulty in translation. Most modern readers would not understand what a ‘tunic’ was any more than they would be familiar with a ‘chiton.’ On the other hand attempts to find a modern equivalent are also a problem: “shirt” conveys the idea of a much shorter garment that covers only the upper body, and “undergarment” (given the styles of modern underwear) is more misleading still. “Tunic” was therefore employed, but with a note to explain its nature.

[9:39]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “and garments,” referring here to other types of clothing besides the tunics just mentioned.

[9:39]  ¹¹ tn The verb ἐποίει (epoiei) has been translated as a customary imperfect.

[14:3]  ¹² tn The word “there” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

[14:3]  ¹³ sn The Lord testified to the message by granting the signs described in the following clause.

[14:3]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “word.”

[14:3]  ¹⁵ tn Here the context indicates the miraculous nature of the signs mentioned.

[26:13]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “O King.”

[26:13]  ¹⁷ tn Or “from the sky” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”).

[26:13]  ¹⁸ tn The word “everywhere” has been supplied in the translation to clarify the meaning of περιλάμψαν (perilamyan). Otherwise the modern reader might think that each of the individuals were encircled by lights or halos. See also Acts 9:7; 22:6, 9.

[27:21]  ¹⁹ tn Or “Since they had no desire to eat for a long time.” The genitive absolute construction with the participle ὑπαρχούσης (Juparcoush") has been translated as a causal adverbial participle. It could also be translated temporally (“When many of them had no desire to eat”). The translation of πολλῆς (pollhs) as a substantized adjective referring to the people on board the ship (“many of them”) rather than a period of time (“for a long time”; so most modern versions) follows BDAG 143 s.v. ἀσιτία, which has “πολλῆς ἀ. ὑπαρχούσης since almost nobody wanted to eat because of anxiety or seasickness…Ac 27:21.” This detail indicates how turbulent things were on board the ship.

[27:21]  ²⁰ tn Here τότε (tote) is redundant (pleonastic) according to BDAG 1012-13 s.v. τότε 2; thus it has not been translated.

[27:21]  ²¹ tn Grk “standing up…said.” The participle σταθείς (staqeis) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[27:21]  ²² tn L&N 36.12 has “πειθαρχήσαντάς μοι μὴ ἀνάγεσθαι ἀπὸ τῆς Κρήτης ‘you should have listened to me and not have sailed from Crete’ Ac 27:21.”

[27:21]  sn By saying “you should have listened to me and not put out to sea from Crete” Paul was not “rubbing it in,” but was reasserting his credibility before giving his next recommendation.

[27:21]  ²³ tn BDAG 62 s.v. ἀνάγω 4, “as a nautical t.t. (ἀ. τὴν ναῦν put a ship to sea), mid. or pass. ἀνάγεσθαι to begin to go by boat, put out to sea.”

[27:21]  ²⁴ tn The infinitive κερδῆσαι (kerdhsai) has been translated as resultative.

[27:33]  ²⁵ tn BDAG 160 s.v. ἄχρι 1.b.α has “ἄ. οὗ ἡμέρα ἤμελλεν γίνεσθαι until the day began to dawn 27:33.”

[27:33]  ²⁶ tn Or “have waited anxiously.” Grk “waiting anxiously.” The participle προσδοκῶντες (prosdokwnte") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[27:33]  ²⁷ tn Or “continued.”

[27:33]  ²⁸ tn Grk “having eaten nothing.” The participle προσλαβόμενοι (proslabomenoi) has been translated as a finite verb (with subject “you” supplied) due to requirements of contemporary English style.
