Kisah Para Rasul 7:20

7:20 At that time Moses was born, and he was beautiful ¹  to God. For ²  three months he was brought up in his father’s house,

Kisah Para Rasul 14:9

14:9 This man was listening to Paul as he was speaking. When Paul ³  stared ⁴  intently at him and saw he had faith to be healed,

Kisah Para Rasul 26:25

26:25 But Paul replied, ⁵  “I have not lost my mind, most excellent Festus, ⁶  but am speaking ⁷  true and rational ⁸  words.

[7:20]  ¹ tn Or “was well-formed before God,” or “was well-pleasing to God” (BDAG 145 s.v. ἀστεῖος suggests the meaning is more like “well-bred” as far as God was concerned; see Exod 2:2).

[7:20]  ² tn Grk “who was brought up for three months.” The continuation of the sentence as a relative clause is awkward in English, so a new sentence was started in the translation by changing the relative pronoun to a regular pronoun (“he”).

[14:9]  ³ tn Grk “speaking, who.” The relative pronoun has been replaced by the noun “Paul,” and a new sentence begun in the translation because an English relative clause would be very awkward here.

[14:9]  ⁴ tn Or “looked.”

[26:25]  ⁵ tn Grk “said.”

[26:25]  ⁶ sn See the note on Porcius Festus in 24:27.

[26:25]  ⁷ tn Or “declaring.” BDAG 125 s.v. ἀποφθέγγομαι states, “speak out, declare boldly or loudly…τὶ: σωφροσύνης ῥήματα Ac 26:25.”

[26:25]  ⁸ tn BDAG 987 s.v. σωφροσύνη 1 has “gener. soundness of mind, reasonableness, rationality…ἀληθείας καὶ σωφροσύνης ῥήματα true and rational words (opp. μαίνομαι) Ac 26:25.”
