Kisah Para Rasul 4:28

4:28 to do as much as your power ⁶  and your plan ⁷  had decided beforehand ⁸  would happen.

[2:23]  ¹ tn Or “you killed.”

[2:23]  ² 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.

[3:18]  ³ sn God foretold. Peter’s topic is the working out of God’s plan and promise through events the scriptures also note.

[3:18]  ⁴ tn Grk “by the mouth of” (an idiom).

[3:18]  ⁵ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[3:18]  sn See the note on Christ in 2:31.

[4:28]  ⁶ tn Grk “hand,” here a metaphor for God’s strength or power or authority.

[4:28]  ⁷ tn Or “purpose,” “will.”

[4:28]  ⁸ tn Or “had predestined.” Since the term “predestine” is something of a technical theological term, not in wide usage in contemporary English, the translation “decide beforehand” was used instead (see L&N 30.84). God’s direction remains as the major theme.
