Kisah Para Rasul 16:6

Paul’s Vision of the Macedonian Man

16:6 They went through the region of Phrygia ⁸  and Galatia, ⁹  having been prevented ¹⁰  by the Holy Spirit from speaking the message ¹¹  in the province of Asia. ¹² 

Kisah Para Rasul 24:11

24:11 As you can verify ¹³  for yourself, not more than twelve days ago ¹⁴  I went up to Jerusalem ¹⁵  to worship.

[7:25]  ¹ tn Grk “his brothers.”

[7:25]  ² tn Grk “was granting them deliverance.” The narrator explains that this act pictured what Moses could do for his people.

[7:25]  ³ tn Grk “by his hand,” where the hand is a metaphor for the entire person.

[7:25]  ⁴ sn They did not understand. Here is the theme of the speech. The people did not understand what God was doing through those he chose. They made the same mistake with Joseph at first. See Acts 3:17; 13:27. There is good precedent for this kind of challenging review of history in the ancient scriptures: Ps 106:6-46; Ezek 20; and Neh 9:6-38.

[10:14]  ⁵ tn Possibly there is a subtle distinction in meaning between κοινός (koinos) and ἀκάθαρτος (akaqarto") here, but according to L&N 53.39 it is difficult to determine precise differences in meaning based on existing contexts.

[10:14]  sn Peter insisted he would not violate the law by eating anything defiled and ritually unclean. These food laws were one of the practices that distinguished Jews from their Gentile neighbors. The practice made table fellowship with Gentiles awkward. For an example of Jewish attitudes to this, see Dan 1:8-16; 1 Macc 1:41-64; Letter of Aristeas 142; Tacitus, History 5.5.

[13:40]  ⁶ sn The speech closes with a warning, “Watch out,” that also stresses culpability.

[13:40]  ⁷ tn Or “in.”

[16:6]  ⁸ sn Phrygia was a district in central Asia Minor west of Pisidia.

[16:6]  ⁹ sn Galatia refers to either (1) the region of the old kingdom of Galatia in the central part of Asia Minor (North Galatia), or (2) the Roman province of Galatia, whose principal cities in the 1st century were Ancyra and Pisidian Antioch (South Galatia). The exact extent and meaning of this area has been a subject of considerable controversy in modern NT studies.

[16:6]  ¹⁰ tn Or “forbidden.”

[16:6]  ¹¹ tn Or “word.”

[16:6]  ¹² 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.

[24:11]  ¹³ tn BDAG 369 s.v. ἐπιγινώσκω 2.c has “notice, perceive, learn of, ascertain…Also as legal t.t. ascertain (2 Macc 14:9) τὶ Ac 23:28; cp. 24:8. W. ὅτι foll. Ac 24:11.” “Verify” is an English synonym for “ascertain.”

[24:11]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “it is not more than twelve days from when.” This has been simplified to “not more than twelve days ago.”

[24:11]  sn Part of Paul’s defense is that he would not have had time to organize a revolt, since he had arrived in Jerusalem not more than twelve days ago.
