Kisah Para Rasul 2:22-23

2:22 “Men of Israel, ¹  listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man clearly attested to you by God with powerful deeds, ²  wonders, and miraculous signs ³  that God performed among you through him, just as you yourselves know – 2:23 this man, who was handed over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you executed ⁴  by nailing him to a cross at the hands of Gentiles. ⁵ 

Kisah Para Rasul 4:11-12

4:11 This Jesus ⁶  is the stone that was rejected by you, ⁷  the builders, that has become the cornerstone. ⁸  4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among people ⁹  by which we must ¹⁰  be saved.”

Kisah Para Rasul 5:30-31

5:30 The God of our forefathers ¹¹  raised up Jesus, whom you seized and killed by hanging him on a tree. ¹²  5:31 God exalted him ¹³  to his right hand as Leader ¹⁴  and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. ¹⁵ 

Kisah Para Rasul 10:36-42

10:36 You know ¹⁶  the message ¹⁷  he sent to the people ¹⁸  of Israel, proclaiming the good news of peace ¹⁹  through ²⁰  Jesus Christ ²¹  (he is Lord ²²  of all) – 10:37 you know what happened throughout Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John announced: ²³  10:38 with respect to Jesus from Nazareth, ²⁴  that ²⁵  God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power. He ²⁶  went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, ²⁷  because God was with him. ²⁸  10:39 We ²⁹  are witnesses of all the things he did both in Judea ³⁰  and in Jerusalem. ³¹  They ³²  killed him by hanging him on a tree, ³³  10:40 but ³⁴  God raised him up on the third day and caused him to be seen, ³⁵  10:41 not by all the people, but by us, the witnesses God had already chosen, ³⁶  who ate and drank ³⁷  with him after he rose from the dead. 10:42 He ³⁸  commanded us to preach to the people and to warn ³⁹  them ⁴⁰  that he is the one ⁴¹  appointed ⁴²  by God as judge ⁴³  of the living and the dead.

[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.

[2:23]  ⁴ tn Or “you killed.”

[2:23]  ⁵ tn Grk “at the hands of lawless men.” At this point the term ἄνομος (anomo") refers to non-Jews who live outside the Jewish (Mosaic) law, rather than people who broke any or all laws including secular laws. Specifically it is a reference to the Roman soldiers who carried out Jesus’ crucifixion.

[4:11]  ⁶ tn Grk “This one”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:11]  ⁷ tn The word “you” is inserted into the quotation because Peter is making a direct application of Ps 118:22 to his hearers. Because it is not in the OT, it has been left as normal type (rather than bold italic). The remarks are like Acts 2:22-24 and 3:12-15.

[4:11]  ⁸ sn A quotation from Ps 118:22 which combines the theme of rejection with the theme of God’s vindication/exaltation.

[4:12]  ⁹ tn Here ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") has been translated as a generic noun (“people”).

[4:12]  ¹⁰ sn Must be saved. The term used here (δεῖ, dei, “it is necessary”) reflects the necessity set up by God’s directive plan.

[5:30]  ¹¹ tn Or “ancestors”; Grk “fathers.”

[5:30]  ¹² tn Or “by crucifying him” (“hang on a tree” is by the time of the first century an idiom for crucifixion). The allusion is to the judgment against Jesus as a rebellious figure, appealing to the language of Deut 21:23. The Jewish leadership has badly “misjudged” Jesus.

[5:31]  ¹³ tn Grk “This one God exalted” (emphatic).

[5:31]  ¹⁴ tn Or “Founder” (of a movement).

[5:31]  ¹⁵ tn Or “to give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.”

[10:36]  ¹⁶ tn The subject and verb (“you know”) do not actually occur until the following verse, but have been repeated here because of the requirements of English word order.

[10:36]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “the word.”

[10:36]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “to the sons.”

[10:36]  ¹⁹ sn Peace is a key OT concept: Isa 52:7; Nah 1:15; also for Luke: Luke 1:79; 2:14; Acts 9:31. See also the similar phrase in Eph 2:17.

[10:36]  ²⁰ tn Or “by.”

[10:36]  ²¹ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[10:36]  ²² sn He is Lord of all. Though a parenthetical remark, this is the theological key to the speech. Jesus is Lord of all, so the gospel can go to all. The rest of the speech proclaims Jesus’ authority.

[10:37]  ²³ tn Or “proclaimed.”

[10:38]  ²⁴ sn The somewhat awkward naming of Jesus as from Nazareth here is actually emphatic. He is the key subject of these key events.

[10:38]  ²⁵ tn Or “how.” The use of ὡς (Jws) as an equivalent to ὅτι (Joti) to introduce indirect or even direct discourse is well documented. BDAG 1105 s.v. ὡς 5 lists Acts 10:28 in this category.

[10:38]  ²⁶ tn Grk “power, who.” The relative pronoun was replaced by the pronoun “he,” and a new sentence was begun in the translation at this point to improve the English style, due to the length of the sentence in Greek.

[10:38]  ²⁷ tn The translation “healing all who were oppressed by the devil” is given in L&N 22.22.

[10:38]  sn All who were oppressed by the devil. Note how healing is tied to the cosmic battle present in creation. Christ’s power overcomes the devil and his forces, which seek to destroy humanity.

[10:38]  ²⁸ sn See Acts 7:9.

[10:39]  ²⁹ tn Grk “And we.” 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.

[10:39]  ³⁰ tn Grk “the land of the Jews,” but this is similar to the phrase used as the name of the province of Judea in 1 Macc 8:3 (see BDAG 1093-94 s.v. χώρα 2.b).

[10:39]  ³¹ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[10:39]  ³² tn Grk “in Jerusalem, whom they killed.” The relative pronoun was replaced by the pronoun “him” and a new sentence was begun in the translation at this point to improve the English style, due to the length of the sentence in Greek.

[10:39]  ³³ tn Or “by crucifying him” (“hang on a tree” is by the time of the 1st century an idiom for crucifixion). The allusion is to the judgment against Jesus as a rebellious figure, appealing to the language of Deut 21:23. The Jewish leadership has badly “misjudged” Jesus.

[10:40]  ³⁴ tn The conjunction “but” is not in the Greek text, but the contrast is clearly implied in the context. This is technically asyndeton, or lack of a connective, in Greek.

[10:40]  ³⁵ tn Grk “and granted that he should become visible.” The literal Greek idiom is somewhat awkward in English. L&N 24.22 offers the translation “caused him to be seen” for this verse.

[10:41]  ³⁶ tn Or “the witnesses God had previously chosen.” See Acts 1:8.

[10:41]  ³⁷ sn Ate and drank. See Luke 24:35-49.

[10:42]  ³⁸ tn Grk “and he.” 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.

[10:42]  ³⁹ tn The verb διαμαρτύρομαι (diamarturomai) can mean “warn,” and such a meaning is highly probable in this context where a reference to the judgment of both the living and the dead is present. The more general meaning “to testify solemnly” does not capture this nuance.

[10:42]  ⁴⁰ tn The word “them” 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.

[10:42]  ⁴¹ tn Grk “that this one is the one,” but this is awkward in English and has been simplified to “that he is the one.”

[10:42]  ⁴² tn Or “designated.” BDAG 723 s.v. ὁρίζω 2.b has “the one appointed by God as judge” for this phrase.

[10:42]  ⁴³ sn Jesus has divine authority as judge over the living and the dead: Acts 17:26-31; Rom 14:9; 1 Thess 5:9-10; 1 Tim 4:1; 1 Pet 4:5.
