Kisah Para Rasul 1:2

1:2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, ¹  after he had given orders ²  by ³  the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.

Kisah Para Rasul 1:16

1:16 “Brothers, ⁴  the scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit foretold through ⁵  David concerning Judas – who became the guide for those who arrested Jesus –

Kisah Para Rasul 7:44

7:44 Our ancestors ⁶  had the tabernacle ⁷  of testimony in the wilderness, ⁸  just as God ⁹  who spoke to Moses ordered him ¹⁰  to make it according to the design he had seen.

Kisah Para Rasul 10:43

10:43 About him all the prophets testify, ¹¹  that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins ¹²  through his name.”

Kisah Para Rasul 13:15

13:15 After the reading from the law and the prophets, ¹³  the leaders of the synagogue ¹⁴  sent them a message, ¹⁵  saying, “Brothers, ¹⁶  if you have any message ¹⁷  of exhortation ¹⁸  for the people, speak it.” ¹⁹ 

[1:2]  ¹ tn The words “to heaven” are not in the Greek text, but are supplied from v. 11. Several modern translations (NIV, NRSV) supply the words “to heaven” after “taken up” to specify the destination explicitly mentioned later in 1:11.

[1:2]  ² tn Or “commands.” Although some modern translations render ἐντειλάμενος (enteilameno") as “instructions” (NIV, NRSV), the word implies authority or official sanction (G. Schrenk, TDNT 2:545), so that a word like “orders” conveys the idea more effectively. The action of the temporal participle is antecedent (prior) to the action of the verb it modifies (“taken up”).

[1:2]  ³ tn Or “through.”

[1:16]  ⁴ 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]  ⁵ tn Grk “foretold by the mouth of.”

[7:44]  ⁶ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[7:44]  ⁷ tn Or “tent.”

[7:44]  sn The tabernacle was the tent used to house the ark of the covenant before the construction of Solomon’s temple. This is where God was believed to reside, yet the people were still unfaithful.

[7:44]  ⁸ tn Or “desert.”

[7:44]  ⁹ tn Grk “the one”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:44]  ¹⁰ tn The word “him” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.

[10:43]  ¹¹ tn Or “All the prophets testify about him.” Although modern English translations tend to place “about him” after “testify” (so NIV, NRSV) the phrase “about him” has been left at the beginning of v. 43 for emphatic reasons.

[10:43]  ¹² sn Forgiveness of sins. See Luke 24:47; also Acts 14:23; 19:4; 9:42; 11:17; 16:31. The gospel is present in the prophetic promise, Rom 1:1-7. The message is in continuity with the ancient hope.

[13:15]  ¹³ sn After the reading from the law and the prophets. In the 1st century Jewish synagogue, it was customary after the reading of the Torah (law) and prophets for men to give exhortation from the scriptures.

[13:15]  ¹⁴ tn Normally ἀρχισυνάγωγος (arcisunagwgo") refers to the “president of a synagogue” (so BDAG 139 s.v. and L&N 53.93). Since the term is plural here, however, and it would sound strange to the English reader to speak of “the presidents of the synagogue,” the alternative translation “leaders” is used. “Rulers” would also be acceptable, but does not convey quite the same idea.

[13:15]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “sent to them”; the word “message” is an understood direct object. Direct objects in Greek were often omitted when clear from the context, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.

[13:15]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “Men brothers,” but this is both awkward and unnecessary in English.

[13:15]  ¹⁷ tn Or “word.”

[13:15]  ¹⁸ tn Or “encouragement.”

[13:15]  ¹⁹ tn Or “give it.”
