Kisah Para Rasul 6:12-13

6:12 They incited the people, the ¹³  elders, and the experts in the law; ¹⁴  then they approached Stephen, ¹⁵  seized him, and brought him before the council. ¹⁶  6:13 They brought forward false witnesses who said, “This man does not stop saying things against this holy place ¹⁷  and the law. ¹⁸ 

[8:54]  ¹ tn Or “toward heaven.”

[8:2]  ² sn The festival. This was the Feast of Tabernacles, see Lev 23:34.

[8:2]  ³ sn The month Ethanim. This would be September-October in modern reckoning.

[11:14]  ⁴ tn Grk “words” (ῥήματα, rJhmata), but in this context the overall message is meant rather than the individual words.

[23:3]  ⁵ sn You whitewashed wall. This was an idiom for hypocrisy – just as the wall was painted on the outside but something different on the inside, so this person was not what he appeared or pretended to be (L&N 88.234; see also BDAG 1010 s.v. τοῖχος). Paul was claiming that the man’s response was two-faced (Ezek 13:10-16; Matt 23:27-28). See also Deut 28:22.

[23:3]  ⁶ tn Grk “And do.” 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.

[23:3]  ⁷ tn The law refers to the law of Moses.

[23:3]  ⁸ tn BDAG 769 s.v. παρανομέω has “παρανομῶν κελεύεις in violation of the law you order Ac 23:3.”

[23:3]  sn In violation of the law. Paul was claiming that punishment was given before the examination was complete (m. Sanhedrin 3:6-8). Luke’s noting of this detail shows how quickly the leadership moved to react against Paul.

[23:2]  ⁹ tn Grk “and” (δέ, de); the phrase “at that” has been used in the translation to clarify the cause and effect relationship.

[23:2]  ¹⁰ tn BDAG 778 s.v. παρίστημι/παριστάνω 2.b.α has “οἱ παρεστῶτες αὐτῷ those standing near him Ac 23:2.”

[23:2]  ¹¹ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[23:2]  ¹² tn Or “hit” (‘strike’ maintains the wordplay with the following verse). The action was probably designed to indicate a rejection of Paul’s claim to a clear conscience in the previous verse.

[6:12]  ¹³ tn Grk “and the,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[6:12]  ¹⁴ tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 4:5.

[6:12]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “approaching, they seized him”; the referent (Stephen) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:12]  ¹⁶ tn Or “the Sanhedrin” (the highest legal, legislative, and judicial body among the Jews). Stephen suffers just as Peter and John did.

[6:13]  ¹⁷ sn This holy place is a reference to the temple.

[6:13]  ¹⁸ sn The law refers to the law of Moses. It elaborates the nature of the blasphemy in v. 11. To speak against God’s law in Torah was to blaspheme God (Deut 28:15-19). On the Jewish view of false witnesses, see Exod 19:16-18; 20:16; m. Sanhedrin 3.6; 5.1-5. Stephen’s speech in Acts 7 may indicate why the temple was mentioned.
