Kisah Para Rasul 7:14

7:14 So Joseph sent a message ³  and invited ⁴  his father Jacob and all his relatives to come, seventy-five people ⁵  in all.

[1:23]  ¹ tc Codex Bezae (D) and other Western witnesses have “he proposed,” referring to Peter, thus emphasizing his role above the other apostles. The Western text displays a conscious pattern of elevating Peter in Acts, and thus the singular verb here is a palpably motivated reading.

[1:23]  ² tn Grk “So they proposed two.” The word “candidates” was supplied in the text for clarity.

[7:14]  ³ tn The words “a message” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.

[7:14]  ⁴ tn Or “Joseph had his father summoned” (BDAG 121 s.v. ἀποστέλλω 2.b).

[7:14]  ⁵ tn Grk “souls” (here an idiom for the whole person).
