1 Samuel 5:9

Kisah Para Rasul 11:27

Famine Relief for Judea

11:27 At that time ¹¹  some ¹²  prophets ¹³  came down ¹⁴  from Jerusalem ¹⁵  to Antioch. ¹⁶ 

[1:6]  ¹ tn Grk “and.” Verse 6 is a continuation of the same sentence begun in v. 5. Due to the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[1:6]  ² tn Grk “who did not keep their own domain.”

[1:6]  sn The idea is that certain angels acted improperly, going outside the bounds prescribed by God (their proper domain).

[1:6]  ³ sn There is an interesting play on words used in this verse. Because the angels did not keep their proper place, Jesus has kept them chained up in another place. The same verb keep is used in v. 1 to describe believers’ status before God and Christ.

[1:6]  ⁴ sn In 2 Pet 2:4 a less common word for chains is used.

[1:6]  ⁵ tn The word ζόφος (zofos, “utter, deepest darkness”) is used only five times in the NT: two in 2 Peter, two in Jude, and one in Hebrews. Jude 6 parallels 2 Pet 2:4; Jude 13 parallels 2 Pet 2:17.

[1:6]  ⁶ tn The words “locked up” are not in Greek, but is expressed in English as a resumptive point after the double prepositional phrase (“in eternal chains in utter darkness”).

[1:2]  ⁷ tn Grk “may mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.”

[5:9]  ⁸ tn Heb “the hand of the Lord was against the city.”

[5:9]  ⁹ tn Heb “and he struck the men of the city from small and to great.”

[5:9]  ¹⁰ tn See the note on this term in v. 6. Cf. KJV “and they had emerods in their secret parts.”

[11:27]  ¹¹ tn Grk “In these days,” but the dative generally indicates a specific time.

[11:27]  ¹² tn The word “some” is not in the Greek text, but is usually used in English when an unspecified number is mentioned.

[11:27]  ¹³ sn Prophets are mentioned only here and in 13:1 and 21:10 in Acts.

[11:27]  ¹⁴ sn Came down from Jerusalem. Antioch in Syria lies due north of Jerusalem. In Western languages it is common to speak of north as “up” and south as “down,” but the NT maintains the Hebrew idiom which speaks of any direction away from Jerusalem as down (since Mount Zion was thought of in terms of altitude).
