28:31 proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ ¹  with complete boldness ²  and without restriction. ³ 

Kisah Para Rasul 4:13

4:13 When they saw the boldness ⁴  of Peter and John, and discovered ⁵  that they were uneducated ⁶  and ordinary ⁷  men, they were amazed and recognized these men had been with Jesus.

[28:31]  ¹ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[28:31]  ² tn Or “openness.”

[28:31]  ³ sn Proclaiming…with complete boldness and without restriction. Once again Paul’s imprisonment is on benevolent terms. The word of God is proclaimed triumphantly and boldly in Rome. Acts ends with this note: Despite all the attempts to stop it, the message goes forth.

[4:13]  ⁴ tn Or “courage.”

[4:13]  ⁵ tn Or “and found out.”

[4:13]  ⁶ sn Uneducated does not mean “illiterate,” that is, unable to read or write. Among Jews in NT times there was almost universal literacy, especially as the result of widespread synagogue schools. The term refers to the fact that Peter and John had no formal rabbinic training and thus, in the view of their accusers, were not qualified to expound the law or teach publicly. The objection is like Acts 2:7.

[4:13]  ⁷ tn For the translation of ἰδιῶται (idiwtai) as “ordinary men” see L&N 27.26.
