Kisah Para Rasul 2:22

Kisah Para Rasul 7:52

7:52 Which of the prophets did your ancestors ⁴  not persecute? ⁵  They ⁶  killed those who foretold long ago the coming of the Righteous One, ⁷  whose betrayers and murderers you have now become! ⁸ 

[2:22]  ¹ tn Or “Israelite men,” although this is less natural English. The Greek term here is ἀνήρ (anhr), which only exceptionally is used in a generic sense of both males and females. In this context, it is conceivable that this is a generic usage, although it can also be argued that Peter’s remarks were addressed primarily to the men present, even if women were there.

[2:22]  ² tn Or “miraculous deeds.”

[2:22]  ³ tn Again, the context indicates the miraculous nature of these signs, and this is specified in the translation.

[7:52]  ⁴ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[7:52]  ⁵ sn Which…persecute. The rhetorical question suggests they persecuted them all.

[7:52]  ⁶ tn Grk “And they.” 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.

[7:52]  ⁷ sn The Righteous One is a reference to Jesus Christ.

[7:52]  ⁸ sn Whose betrayers and murderers you have now become. The harsh critique has OT precedent (1 Kgs 19:10-14; Neh 9:26; 2 Chr 36:16).
