Kisah Para Rasul 7:49

7:49 ‘Heaven is my throne,

and earth is the footstool for my feet.

What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord,

or what is my resting place? ¹ 

Kisah Para Rasul 2:36

2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know beyond a doubt ²  that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified ³  both Lord ⁴  and Christ.” ⁵ 

[7:49]  ¹ sn What kind…resting place? The rhetorical questions suggest mere human beings cannot build a house to contain God.

[2:36]  ² tn Or “know for certain.” This term is in an emphatic position in the clause.

[2:36]  ³ tn Grk “has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” The clause has been simplified in the translation by replacing the pronoun “him” with the explanatory clause “this Jesus whom you crucified” which comes at the end of the sentence.

[2:36]  ⁴ sn Lord. This looks back to the quotation of Ps 110:1 and the mention of “calling on the Lord” in 2:21. Peter’s point is that the Lord on whom one calls for salvation is Jesus, because he is the one mediating God’s blessing of the Spirit as a sign of the presence of salvation and the last days.

[2:36]  ⁵ tn Or “and Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[2:36]  sn See the note on Christ in 2:31.
