Kisah Para Rasul 7:5

7:5 He ¹  did not give any of it to him for an inheritance, ²  not even a foot of ground, ³  yet God ⁴  promised to give it to him as his possession, and to his descendants after him, ⁵  even though Abraham ⁶  as yet had no child.

Kisah Para Rasul 7:45

7:45 Our ⁷  ancestors ⁸  received possession of it and brought it in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations that God drove out before our ancestors, ⁹  until the time ¹⁰  of David.

Kisah Para Rasul 18:21

18:21 but said farewell to ¹¹  them and added, ¹²  “I will come back ¹³  to you again if God wills.” ¹⁴  Then ¹⁵  he set sail from Ephesus,

Kisah Para Rasul 23:18

23:18 So the centurion ¹⁶  took him and brought him to the commanding officer ¹⁷  and said, “The prisoner Paul called ¹⁸  me and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.”

Kisah Para Rasul 26:18

26:18 to open their eyes so that they turn ¹⁹  from darkness to light and from the power ²⁰  of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a share ²¹  among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

[7:5]  ¹ tn Grk “And he.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[7:5]  ² tn Grk “He did not give him an inheritance in it.” This could be understood to mean that God did not give something else to Abraham as an inheritance while he was living there. The point of the text is that God did not give any of the land to him as an inheritance, and the translation makes this clear.

[7:5]  ³ tn Grk “a step of a foot” (cf. Deut 2:5).

[7:5]  ⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:5]  ⁵ sn An allusion to Gen 12:7; 13:15; 15:2, 18; 17:8; 24:7; 48:4. On the theological importance of the promise and to his descendants after him, see Rom 4 and Gal 3.

[7:5]  ⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Abraham) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:45]  ⁷ tn Grk “And.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[7:45]  ⁸ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[7:45]  ⁹ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[7:45]  sn Before our ancestors. Stephen has backtracked here to point out how faithful God had been before the constant move to idolatry just noted.

[7:45]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “In those days.”

[18:21]  ¹¹ tn Or “but took leave of.”

[18:21]  ¹² tn Grk “and saying”; the participle εἰπών (eipwn) has been translated as “added” rather than “said” to avoid redundancy with the previous “said farewell.” The participle εἰπών has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[18:21]  ¹³ tn Or “will return.”

[18:21]  ¹⁴ tn The participle θέλοντος (qelontos), a genitive absolute construction, has been translated as a conditional adverbial participle. Again Paul acts in dependence on God.

[18:21]  ¹⁵ tn A new sentence was begun here in the translation due to the length of the sentence in Greek and the requirements of contemporary English style, which generally uses shorter sentences.

[23:18]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the centurion) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[23:18]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “the chiliarch” (an officer in command of a thousand soldiers). See note on the term “commanding officer” in v. 10.

[23:18]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “calling.” The participle προσκαλεσάμενος (proskalesameno") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[26:18]  ¹⁹ sn To open their eyes so that they turn… Here is Luke’s most comprehensive report of Paul’s divine calling. His role was to call humanity to change their position before God and experience God’s forgiveness as a part of God’s family. The image of turning is a key one in the NT: Luke 1:79; Rom 2:19; 13:12; 2 Cor 4:6; 6:14; Eph 5:8; Col 1:12; 1 Thess 5:5. See also Luke 1:77-79; 3:3; 24:47.

[26:18]  ²⁰ tn BDAG 352-53 s.v. ἐξουσία 2 states, “Also of Satan’s power Ac 26:18.” It is also possible to translate this “the domain of Satan” (cf. BDAG 353 s.v. 6)

[26:18]  ²¹ tn Or “and an inheritance.”
