Kisah Para Rasul 2:35

2:35 until I make your enemies a footstool ⁴  for your feet.”’ ⁵ 

[8:17]  ¹ tc Here Ahimelech is called “the son of Abiathar,” but NCV, CEV, and REB reverse this to conform with 1 Sam 22:20. Most recent English versions (e.g., NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT) retain the order found in the MT.

[8:1]  ² tn Heb “the bridle of one cubit.” Many English versions treat this as a place name because the parallel text in 1 Chr 18:1 reads “Gath” (which is used by NLT here). It is possible that “the bridle of one cubit” is to be understood as “the token of surrender,” referring to the Philistine’s defeat rather than a specific place (cf. TEV, CEV).

[8:1]  ³ tn Heb “from the hand [i.e., control] of the Philistines.”

[2:35]  ⁴ sn The metaphor make your enemies a footstool portrays the complete subjugation of the enemies.

[2:35]  ⁵ sn A quotation from Ps 110:1, one of the most often-cited OT passages in the NT, pointing to the exaltation of Jesus.
