Kisah Para Rasul 7:51

7:51 “You stubborn ²  people, with uncircumcised ³  hearts and ears! ⁴  You are always resisting the Holy Spirit, like your ancestors ⁵  did!

[6:8]  ¹ tn The miraculous nature of these signs is implied in the context. Here the work of miracles extends beyond the Twelve for the first time.

[7:51]  ² sn Traditionally, “stiff-necked people.” Now the critique begins in earnest.

[7:51]  ³ tn The term ἀπερίτμητοι (aperitmhtoi, “uncircumcised”) is a NT hapax legomenon (occurs only once). See BDAG 101-2 s.v. ἀπερίτμητος and Isa 52:1.

[7:51]  ⁴ tn Or “You stubborn and obstinate people!” (The phrase “uncircumcised hearts and ears” is another figure for stubbornness.)

[7:51]  ⁵ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”
