Kisah Para Rasul 16:4-11
Konteks16:4 As they went through the towns, 1 they passed on 2 the decrees that had been decided on by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem 3 for the Gentile believers 4 to obey. 5 16:5 So the churches were being strengthened in the faith and were increasing in number every day. 6
16:6 They went through the region of Phrygia 7 and Galatia, 8 having been prevented 9 by the Holy Spirit from speaking the message 10 in the province of Asia. 11 16:7 When they came to 12 Mysia, 13 they attempted to go into Bithynia, 14 but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow 15 them to do this, 16 16:8 so they passed through 17 Mysia 18 and went down to Troas. 19 16:9 A 20 vision appeared to Paul during the night: A Macedonian man was standing there 21 urging him, 22 “Come over 23 to Macedonia 24 and help us!” 16:10 After Paul 25 saw the vision, we attempted 26 immediately to go over to Macedonia, 27 concluding that God had called 28 us to proclaim the good news to them.
16:11 We put out to sea 29 from Troas 30 and sailed a straight course 31 to Samothrace, 32 the next day to Neapolis, 33

[16:4] 4 tn Grk “for them”; the referent (Gentile believers) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[16:4] 5 tn Or “observe” or “follow.”
[16:5] 6 tn BDAG 437 s.v. ἡμέρα 2.c has “every day” for this phrase.
[16:6] 7 sn Phrygia was a district in central Asia Minor west of Pisidia.
[16:6] 8 sn Galatia refers to either (1) the region of the old kingdom of Galatia in the central part of Asia Minor (North Galatia), or (2) the Roman province of Galatia, whose principal cities in the 1st century were Ancyra and Pisidian Antioch (South Galatia). The exact extent and meaning of this area has been a subject of considerable controversy in modern NT studies.
[16:6] 11 tn Grk “Asia”; in the NT this always refers to the Roman province of Asia, made up of about one-third of the west and southwest end of modern Asia Minor. Asia lay to the west of the region of Phrygia and Galatia. The words “the province of” are supplied to indicate to the modern reader that this does not refer to the continent of Asia.

[16:8] 17 tn Although the normal meaning for παρέρχομαι (parercomai) is “pass by, go by,” it would be difficult to get to Troas from where Paul and his companions were without going through rather than around Mysia. BDAG 776 s.v. παρέρχομαι 6 list some nonbiblical examples of the meaning “go through, pass through,” and give that meaning for the usage here.
[16:8] 18 sn Mysia was a province in northwest Asia Minor.
[16:8] 19 sn Troas was a port city (and surrounding region) on the northwest coast of Asia Minor, near ancient Troy.
[16:9] 20 tn Grk “And a.” 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.
[16:9] 21 tn The word “there” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.
[16:9] 22 tn The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant and has not been translated.
