Kisah Para Rasul 9:17

[8:5]  ¹ tn Heb “and he built…[as] cities of fortification, [with] walls, doors, and a bar.”

[9:17]  ² tn Grk “and placing his hands on Saul, he said.” The participle ἐπιθείς (epiqei") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. For the same reason καί (kai) has not been translated before the participle.

[9:17]  ³ tn Grk “on him”; the referent (Saul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:17]  ⁴ tn Grk “on the road in which you came,” but the relative clause makes for awkward English style, so it was translated as a temporal clause (“as you came here”).

[9:17]  ⁵ sn Be filled with the Holy Spirit. Here someone who is not an apostle (Ananias) commissions another person with the Spirit.
