Kisah Para Rasul 1:4

1:4 While he was with them, ¹  he declared, ²  “Do not leave Jerusalem, ³  but wait there ⁴  for what my ⁵  Father promised, ⁶  which you heard about from me. ⁷ 

Kisah Para Rasul 1:14

1:14 All these continued together in prayer with one mind, together with the women, along with Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers. ⁸ 

Kisah Para Rasul 4:31

4:31 When ⁹  they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken, ¹⁰  and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak ¹¹  the word of God ¹²  courageously. ¹³ 

Kisah Para Rasul 8:14-17

8:14 Now when the apostles in Jerusalem ¹⁴  heard that Samaria had accepted the word ¹⁵  of God, they sent ¹⁶  Peter and John to them. 8:15 These two ¹⁷  went down and prayed for them so that they would receive the Holy Spirit. 8:16 (For the Spirit ¹⁸  had not yet come upon ¹⁹  any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) ²⁰  8:17 Then Peter and John placed their hands on the Samaritans, ²¹  and they received the Holy Spirit. ²² 

Kisah Para Rasul 19:2-6

19:2 and said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” ²³  They replied, ²⁴  “No, we have not even ²⁵  heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” 19:3 So Paul ²⁶  said, “Into what then were you baptized?” “Into John’s baptism,” they replied. ²⁷  19:4 Paul said, “John baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, ²⁸  that is, in Jesus.” 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, 19:6 and when Paul placed ²⁹  his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came ³⁰  upon them, and they began to speak ³¹  in tongues and to prophesy. ³² 

[1:4]  ¹ tn Or “While he was assembling with them,” or “while he was sharing a meal with them.” There are three basic options for translating the verb συναλίζω (sunalizw): (1) “Eat (salt) with, share a meal with”; (2) “bring together, assemble”; (3) “spend the night with, stay with” (see BDAG 964 s.v.). The difficulty with the first option is that it does not fit the context, and this meaning is not found elsewhere. The second option is difficult because of the singular number and the present tense. The third option is based on a spelling variation of συναυλιζόμενος (sunaulizomeno"), which some minuscules actually read here. The difference in meaning between (2) and (3) is not great, but (3) seems to fit the context somewhat better here.

[1:4]  ² tn Grk “ordered them”; the command “Do not leave” is not in Greek but is an indirect quotation in the original (see note at end of the verse for explanation).

[1:4]  ³ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[1:4]  ⁴ tn The word “there” is not in the Greek text (direct objects in Greek were frequently omitted when clear from the context).

[1:4]  ⁵ tn Grk “the,” with the article used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[1:4]  ⁶ tn Grk “for the promise of the Father.” Jesus is referring to the promised gift of the Holy Spirit (see the following verse).

[1:4]  ⁷ tn Grk “While he was with them, he ordered them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for ‘what my Father promised, which you heard about from me.’” This verse moves from indirect to direct discourse. This abrupt change is very awkward, so the entire quotation has been rendered as direct discourse in the translation.

[1:14]  ⁸ sn Jesus’ brothers are mentioned in Matt 13:55 and John 7:3.

[4:31]  ⁹ tn Grk “And when.” 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.

[4:31]  ¹⁰ sn The place where they were assembled…was shaken. This signifies that God is in their midst. See Acts 16:26; Exod 19:18; Ps 114:7; Isa 6:4.

[4:31]  ¹¹ tn The imperfect verb has been translated as an ingressive imperfect (“began to speak”). Logical sequencing suggests that their speaking began after they were filled with the Spirit. The prayer was answered immediately.

[4:31]  ¹² tn Or “speak God’s message.”

[4:31]  ¹³ tn Or “with boldness.”

[8:14]  ¹⁴ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[8:14]  ¹⁵ tn Or “message.”

[8:14]  ¹⁶ sn They sent. The Jerusalem church with the apostles was overseeing the expansion of the church, as the distribution of the Spirit indicates in vv. 15-17.

[8:15]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “who.” The relative pronoun was replaced by the phrase “these two” and a new sentence was begun in the translation at this point to improve the English style.

[8:16]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “For he”; the referent (the Spirit) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:16]  ¹⁹ tn Or “fallen on.”

[8:16]  ²⁰ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.

[8:17]  ²¹ tn Grk “on them”; the referent (the Samaritans) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:17]  ²² sn They received the Holy Spirit. It is likely this special distribution of the Spirit took place because a key ethnic boundary was being crossed. Here are some of “those far off” of Acts 2:38-40.

[19:2]  ²³ tn The participle πιστεύσαντες (pisteusante") is taken temporally.

[19:2]  ²⁴ tn Grk “they [said] to him” (the word “said” is implied in the Greek text).

[19:2]  ²⁵ tn This use of ἀλλά (alla) is ascensive and involves an ellipsis (BDAG 45 s.v. ἀλλά 3): “No, [not only did we not receive the Spirit,] but also we have not heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” However, this is lengthy and somewhat awkward in English, and the ascensive meaning can be much more easily represented by including the word “even” after the negation. Apparently these disciples were unaware of the provision of the Spirit that is represented in baptism. The language sounds like they did not know about a Holy Spirit, but this seems to be only linguistic shorthand for not knowing about the Spirit’s presence (Luke 3:15-18). The situation is parallel to that of Apollos. Apollos and these disciples represent those who “complete” their transition to messianic faith as Jews.

[19:3]  ²⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:3]  ²⁷ tn Grk “they said.”

[19:4]  ²⁸ sn These disciples may have had their contact with John early on in the Baptist’s ministry before Jesus had emerged. This is the fifth time Luke links John the Baptist and Jesus (Acts 1:5; 11:16; 13:25; 18:25).

[19:6]  ²⁹ tn Or “laid.”

[19:6]  ³⁰ sn The coming of the Holy Spirit here is another case where the Spirit comes and prophesy results in Acts (see Acts 2). Paul’s action parallels that of Peter (Acts 8) and not just with Gentiles.

[19:6]  ³¹ tn The imperfect verb ἐλάλουν (elaloun) has been translated as an ingressive imperfect.

[19:6]  ³² tn The imperfect verb ἐπροφήτευον (eprofhteuon) has been translated as an ingressive imperfect.
