Kisah Para Rasul 9:33

9:33 He found there a man named Aeneas who had been confined to a mattress for eight years because ¹  he was paralyzed.

Kisah Para Rasul 20:10

20:10 But Paul went down, ²  threw himself ³  on the young man, ⁴  put his arms around him, ⁵  and said, “Do not be distressed, for he is still alive!” ⁶ 

[9:33]  ¹ tn Since the participle κατακείμενον (katakeimenon), an adjectival participle modifying Αἰνέαν (Ainean), has been translated into English as a relative clause (“who had been confined to a mattress”), it would be awkward to follow with a second relative clause (Grk “who was paralyzed”). Furthermore, the relative pronoun here has virtually a causal force, giving the reason for confinement to the mattress, so it is best translated “because.”

[20:10]  ² tn Grk “going down.” The participle καταβάς (katabas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[20:10]  ³ tn BDAG 377 s.v. ἐπιπίπτω 1.b has “ἐπέπεσεν αὐτῷ he threw himself upon him Ac 20:10.”

[20:10]  ⁴ tn Grk “on him”; the referent (the young man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:10]  ⁵ tn BDAG 959 s.v. συμπεριλαμβάνω has “to throw one’s arms around, embrace w. acc. to be supplied Ac 20:10.” However, “embraced the young man” might be taken (out of context) to have erotic implications, while “threw his arms around him” would be somewhat redundant since “threw” has been used in the previous phrase.

[20:10]  ⁶ tn Grk “for his life is in him” (an idiom).
