Kisah Para Rasul 1:10

1:10 As ¹  they were still staring into the sky while he was going, suddenly ²  two men in white clothing stood near them

Kisah Para Rasul 10:34

10:34 Then Peter started speaking: ³  “I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism in dealing with people, ⁴ 

Kisah Para Rasul 11:24

11:24 because he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and a significant number of people ⁵  were brought to the Lord.

Kisah Para Rasul 22:21

22:21 Then ⁶  he said to me, ‘Go, because I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”

[1:10]  ¹ tn Grk “And as.” 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.

[1:10]  ² tn Grk “behold.”

[10:34]  ³ tn Grk “Opening his mouth Peter said” (a Semitic idiom for beginning to speak in a somewhat formal manner). The participle ἀνοίξας (anoixa") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[10:34]  ⁴ tn Grk “God is not one who is a respecter of persons,” that is, “God is not one to show partiality” (cf. BDAG 887 s.v. προσωπολήμπτης). L&N 88.239 translates this verse “I realize that God does not show favoritism (in dealing with people).” The underlying Hebrew idiom includes the personal element (“respecter of persons”) so the phrase “in dealing with people” is included in the present translation. It fits very well with the following context and serves to emphasize the relational component of God’s lack of partiality. The latter is a major theme in the NT: Rom 2:11; Eph 2:11-22; Col 3:25; Jas 2:1; 1 Pet 1:17. This was the lesson of Peter’s vision.

[11:24]  ⁵ tn Grk “a significant crowd.”

[22:21]  ⁶ tn Grk “And.” Since this represents a response to Paul’s reply in v. 19, καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the logical sequence.
