Kisah Para Rasul 5:24-25

5:24 Now when the commander ¹  of the temple guard ²  and the chief priests heard this report, ³  they were greatly puzzled concerning it, ⁴  wondering what this could ⁵  be. 5:25 But someone came and reported to them, “Look! The men you put in prison are standing in the temple courts ⁶  and teaching ⁷  the people!”

Kisah Para Rasul 16:33

16:33 At ⁸  that hour of the night he took them ⁹  and washed their wounds; ¹⁰  then ¹¹  he and all his family ¹²  were baptized right away. ¹³ 

Kisah Para Rasul 21:27

21:27 When the seven days were almost over, ¹⁴  the Jews from the province of Asia ¹⁵  who had seen him in the temple area ¹⁶  stirred up the whole crowd ¹⁷  and seized ¹⁸  him,

Kisah Para Rasul 21:29

21:29 (For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him previously, and ¹⁹  they assumed Paul had brought him into the inner temple courts.) ²⁰ 

Kisah Para Rasul 24:18

24:18 which I was doing when they found me in the temple, ritually purified, ²¹  without a crowd or a disturbance. ²² 

Kisah Para Rasul 25:8

25:8 Paul said in his defense, ²³  “I have committed no offense ²⁴  against the Jewish law ²⁵  or against the temple or against Caesar.” ²⁶ 

[5:24]  ¹ tn Or “captain.”

[5:24]  ² tn Grk “the official of the temple,” a title for the commander of the Jewish soldiers guarding the temple (thus the translation, “the commander of the temple guard”). See L&N 37.91.

[5:24]  ³ tn Grk “heard these words.”

[5:24]  ⁴ tn Grk “concerning them,” agreeing with the plural antecedent “these words.” Since the phrase “these words” was translated as the singular “this report,” the singular “concerning it” is used here.

[5:24]  ⁵ tn The optative verb here expresses confused uncertainty.

[5:25]  ⁶ tn Grk “the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.

[5:25]  ⁷ sn Obeying God (see v. 29), the apostles were teaching again (4:18-20; 5:20). They did so despite the risk.

[16:33]  ⁸ tn Grk “And at.” 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.

[16:33]  ⁹ tn Grk “taking them…he washed.” The participle παραλαβών (paralabwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[16:33]  ¹⁰ tn On this phrase BDAG 603 s.v. λούω 1 gives a literal translation as “by washing he freed them from the effects of the blows.”

[16:33]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the logical sequence.

[16:33]  ¹² sn All his family. It was often the case in the ancient world that conversion of the father led to the conversion of all those in the household.

[16:33]  ¹³ tn Or “immediately.”

[21:27]  ¹⁴ tn BDAG 975 s.v. συντελέω 4 has “to come to an end of a duration, come to an end, be over…Ac 21:27.”

[21:27]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “Asia”; in the NT this always refers to the Roman province of Asia, made up of about one-third of the west and southwest end of modern Asia Minor. Asia lay to the west of the region of Phrygia and Galatia. The words “the province of” are supplied to indicate to the modern reader that this does not refer to the continent of Asia.

[21:27]  sn Note how there is a sense of Paul being pursued from a distance. These Jews may well have been from Ephesus, since they recognized Trophimus the Ephesian (v. 29).

[21:27]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “in the temple.” See the note on the word “temple” in v. 28.

[21:27]  ¹⁷ tn Or “threw the whole crowd into consternation.” L&N 25.221 has “συνέχεον πάντα τὸν ὄχλον ‘they threw the whole crowd into consternation’ Ac 21:27. It is also possible to render the expression in Ac 21:27 as ‘they stirred up the whole crowd.’”

[21:27]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “and laid hands on.”

[21:29]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “whom.”

[21:29]  ²⁰ tn On the phrase “inner temple courts” see the note on the word “temple” in v. 28.

[21:29]  sn This is a parenthetical note by the author. The note explains the cause of the charge and also notes that it was false.

[24:18]  ²¹ sn Ritually purified. Paul’s claim here is that he was honoring the holiness of God by being sensitive to issues of ritual purity. Not only was he not guilty of the charges against him, but he was thoroughly devout.

[24:18]  ²² tn BDAG 458 s.v. θόρυβος 3.b has “μετὰ θορύβου…with a disturbance Ac 24:18.”

[25:8]  ²³ tn Grk “Paul saying in his defense”; the participle ἀπολογουμένου (apologoumenou) could be taken temporally (“when Paul said…”), but due to the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the participle was translated as a finite verb and a new sentence begun here in the translation. BDAG 116-17 s.v. ἀπολογέομαι has “W. ὅτι foll. τοῦ Παύλου ἀπολογουμένου, ὅτι when Paul said in his defense (direct quot. foll.) Ac 25:8.”

[25:8]  ²⁴ tn Grk “I have sinned…in nothing.”

[25:8]  ²⁵ tn Grk “against the law of the Jews.” Here τῶν ᾿Ιουδαίων has been translated as an attributive genitive.

[25:8]  sn The Jewish law refers to the law of Moses.

[25:8]  ²⁶ tn Or “against the emperor” (“Caesar” is a title for the Roman emperor).

[25:8]  sn Paul’s threefold claim to be innocent with respect to the law…the temple and Caesar argues that he has not disturbed the peace at any level. This was the standard charge made against early Christians (Luke 23:2; Acts 17:6-7). The charges here are emphatically denied, with the Greek conjunction oute repeated before each charge.
