Kisah Para Rasul 1:5

1:5 For ¹  John baptized with water, but you ²  will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

Kisah Para Rasul 2:39

2:39 For the promise ³  is for you and your children, and for all who are far away, as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”

[1:5]  ¹ tn In the Greek text v. 5 is a continuation of the previous sentence, which is long and complicated. In keeping with the tendency of contemporary English to use shorter sentences, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[1:5]  ² tn The pronoun is plural in Greek.

[2:39]  ³ sn The promise refers to the promise of the Holy Spirit that Jesus received from the Father in 2:33 and which he now pours out on others. The promise consists of the Holy Spirit (see note in 2:33). Jesus is the active mediator of God’s blessing.
