Kisah Para Rasul 19:21

A Riot in Ephesus

19:21 Now after all these things had taken place, ⁹  Paul resolved ¹⁰  to go to Jerusalem, ¹¹  passing through Macedonia ¹²  and Achaia. ¹³  He said, ¹⁴  “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.” ¹⁵ 

Kisah Para Rasul 22:10

22:10 So I asked, ¹⁶  ‘What should I do, Lord?’ The Lord said to me, ‘Get up ¹⁷  and go to Damascus; there you will be told about everything ¹⁸  that you have been designated ¹⁹  to do.’

[1:16]  ¹ tn Grk “Men brothers.” In light of the compound phrase ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί (andre" adelfoi, “Men brothers”) Peter’s words are best understood as directly addressed to the males present, possibly referring specifically to the twelve (really ten at this point – eleven minus the speaker, Peter) mentioned by name in v. 13.

[1:16]  ² tn Grk “foretold by the mouth of.”

[2:37]  ³ tn The word “this” is not in the Greek text. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.

[2:37]  ⁴ tn Grk “they were pierced to the heart” (an idiom for acute emotional distress).

[14:22]  ⁵ tn Grk “to Antioch, strengthening.” Due to the length of the Greek sentence and the tendency of contemporary English to use shorter sentences, a new sentence was started here. This participle (ἐπιστηρίζοντες, episthrizonte") and the following one (παρακαλοῦντες, parakalounte") have been translated as finite verbs connected by the coordinating conjunction “and.”

[14:22]  ⁶ sn And encouraged them to continue. The exhortations are like those noted in Acts 11:23; 13:43. An example of such a speech is found in Acts 20:18-35. Christianity is now characterized as “the faith.”

[14:22]  ⁷ sn This reference to the kingdom of God clearly refers to its future arrival.

[14:22]  ⁸ tn Or “sufferings.”

[19:21]  ⁹ tn Grk “all these things had been fulfilled.”

[19:21]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “Paul purposed in [his] spirit” (an idiom). According to BDAG 1003 s.v. τίθημι 1.b.ε the entire idiom means “to resolve” (or “decide”): “ἔθετο ὁ Παῦλος ἐν τῷ πνεύματι w. inf. foll. Paul resolved 19:21.”

[19:21]  ¹² sn Macedonia was the Roman province of Macedonia in Greece.

[19:21]  ¹³ sn Achaia was the Roman province of Achaia located across the Aegean Sea from Ephesus. Its principal city was Corinth.

[19:21]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “Achaia, saying.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence and the awkwardness in English of having two participial clauses following one another (“passing through…saying”), the participle εἰπών (eipwn) has been translated as a finite verb and a new sentence begun here in the translation.

[19:21]  ¹⁵ sn This is the first time Paul mentions Rome. He realized the message of Christianity could impact that society even at its heights.

[22:10]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “So I said.”

[22:10]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “Getting up.” The participle ἀναστάς (anasta") is an adverbial participle of attendant circumstance and has been translated as a finite verb.

[22:10]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “about all things.”

[22:10]  ¹⁹ tn Or “assigned,” “ordered.” BDAG 991 s.v. τάσσω 2.a has “act. and pass., foll. by acc. w. inf.…περὶ πάντων ὧν τέτακταί σοι ποιῆσαι concerning everything that you have been ordered to do 22:10.” There is an allusion to a divine call and commission here.
