Kisah Para Rasul 7:56

7:56 “Look!” he said. ¹  “I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”

Kisah Para Rasul 10:11

10:11 He ²  saw heaven ³  opened ⁴  and an object something like a large sheet ⁵  descending, ⁶  being let down to earth ⁷  by its four corners.

[7:56]  ¹ tn Grk “And he said, ‘Look!’” Because of the length of the Greek sentence and the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences, καί (kai) has not been translated here; a new sentence is begun instead.

[10:11]  ² tn Grk “And he.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun.

[10:11]  ³ tn Or “the sky” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”).

[10:11]  ⁴ tn On the heavens “opening,” see Matt 3:16; Luke 3:21; Rev 19:11 (cf. BDAG 84 s.v. ἀνοίγω 2). This is the language of a vision or a revelatory act of God.

[10:11]  ⁵ tn Or “a large linen cloth” (the term was used for the sail of a ship; BDAG 693 s.v. ὀθόνη).

[10:11]  ⁶ tn Or “coming down.”

[10:11]  ⁷ tn Or “to the ground.”
