Kisah Para Rasul 3:2

Kisah Para Rasul 19:13

19:13 But some itinerant ⁶  Jewish exorcists tried to invoke the name ⁷  of the Lord Jesus over those who were possessed by ⁸  evil spirits, saying, “I sternly warn ⁹  you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”

[3:2]  ¹ tn Or “crippled.”

[3:2]  ² tn Grk “from his mother’s womb.”

[3:2]  ³ tn BDAG 437 s.v. ἡμέρα 2.c has “every day” for this phrase.

[3:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “alms.” The term “alms” is not in common use today, so what the man expected, “money,” is used in the translation instead. The idea is that of money given as a gift to someone who was poor. Giving alms was viewed as honorable in Judaism (Tob 1:3, 16; 12:8-9; m. Pe’ah 1:1). See also Luke 11:41; 12:33; Acts 9:36; 10:2, 4, 31; 24:17.

[3:2]  ⁵ tn Grk “the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.

[3:2]  sn Into the temple courts. The exact location of this incident is debated. The ‘Beautiful Gate’ referred either to the Nicanor Gate (which led from the Court of the Gentiles into the Court of Women) or the Shushan Gate at the eastern wall.

[19:13]  ⁶ tn Grk “some Jewish exorcists who traveled about.” The adjectival participle περιερχομένων (periercomenwn) has been translated as “itinerant.”

[19:13]  ⁷ tn Grk “to name the name.”

[19:13]  ⁸ tn Grk “who had.” Here ἔχω (ecw) is used of demon possession, a common usage according to BDAG 421 s.v. ἔχω 7.a.α.

[19:13]  ⁹ sn The expression I sternly warn you means “I charge you as under oath.”
