Kisah Para Rasul 9:16

9:16 For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.” ¹ 

Yehezkiel 3:22

Isolated and Silenced

3:22 The hand ²  of the Lord rested on me there, and he said to me, “Get up, go out to the valley, ³  and I will speak with you there.”

[9:16]  ¹ tn Or “because of my name.” BDAG 1031 s.v. ὑπέρ 2 lists Acts 9:16 as an example of ὑπέρ (Juper) used to indicate “the moving cause or reason, because of, for the sake of, for.”

[3:22]  ² tn Or “power.”

[3:22]  sn Hand in the OT can refer metaphorically to power, authority, or influence. In Ezekiel God’s hand being on the prophet is regularly associated with communication or a vision from God (1:3; 3:14, 22; 8:1; 37:1; 40:1).

[3:22]  ³ sn Ezekiel had another vision at this location, recounted in Ezek 37.
