Kisah Para Rasul 10:33

10:33 Therefore I sent for you at once, and you were kind enough to come. ¹  So now we are all here in the presence of God ²  to listen ³  to everything the Lord has commanded you to say to us.” ⁴ 

Kisah Para Rasul 28:27

28:27 For the heart of this people has become dull, ⁵ 

and their ears are hard of hearing, ⁶ 

and they have closed their eyes,

so that they would not see with their eyes

and hear with their ears

and understand with their heart

and turn, ⁷  and I would heal them.”’ ⁸ 

[10:33]  ¹ tn Grk “you have done well by coming.” The idiom καλῶς ποιεῖν (kalw" poiein) is translated “be kind enough to do someth.” by BDAG 505-6 s.v. καλῶς 4.a. The participle παραγενόμενος (paragenomeno") has been translated as an English infinitive due to the nature of the English idiom (“kind enough to” + infinitive).

[10:33]  ² tn The translation “we are here in the presence of God” for ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ πάρεσμεν (enwpion tou qeou paresmen) is given by BDAG 773 s.v. πάρειμι 1.a.

[10:33]  ³ tn Or “to hear everything.”

[10:33]  ⁴ tn The words “to say to us” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Cornelius knows Peter is God’s representative, bringing God’s message.

[28:27]  ⁵ tn Or “insensitive.”

[28:27]  sn The heart of this people has become dull. The charge from Isaiah is like Stephen’s against the Jews of Jerusalem (Acts 7:51-53). They were a hard-hearted and disobedient people.

[28:27]  ⁶ tn Grk “they hear heavily with their ears” (an idiom for slow comprehension).

[28:27]  ⁷ sn Note how the failure to respond to the message of the gospel is seen as a failure to turn.

[28:27]  ⁸ sn A quotation from Isa 6:9-10.
