Kisah Para Rasul 10:20

10:20 But get up, ¹  go down, and accompany them without hesitation, ²  because I have sent them.”

Kisah Para Rasul 10:22

10:22 They said, “Cornelius the centurion, ³  a righteous ⁴  and God-fearing man, well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, ⁵  was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear a message ⁶  from you.”

Kisah Para Rasul 10:28

10:28 He said to them, “You know that ⁷  it is unlawful ⁸  for a Jew ⁹  to associate with or visit a Gentile, ¹⁰  yet God has shown me that I should call no person ¹¹  defiled or ritually unclean. ¹² 

[10:20]  ¹ tn Grk “But getting up, go down.” The participle ἀναστάς (anastas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[10:20]  ² tn The term means “without doubting” or “without deliberation.” It is a term of conscience and discernment. In effect, Peter is to listen to them rather than hesitate (BDAG 231 s.v. διακρίνω 6).

[10:22]  ³ sn See the note on the word centurion in 10:1.

[10:22]  ⁴ tn Or “just.”

[10:22]  ⁵ tn The phrase τοῦ ἔθνους τῶν ᾿Ιουδαίων (tou eqnou" twn Ioudaiwn) is virtually a technical term for the Jewish nation (1 Macc 10:25; 11:30, 33; Josephus, Ant. 14.10.22 [14.248]). “All the Jewish people,” while another possible translation of the Greek phrase, does not convey the technical sense of a reference to the nation in English.

[10:22]  sn The long introduction of Cornelius by his messengers is an attempt to commend this Gentile to his Jewish counterpart, which would normally be important to do in the culture of the time.

[10:22]  ⁶ tn Grk “hear words.”

[10:28]  ⁷ tn Here ὡς (Jws) is used like ὅτι (Joti) to introduce indirect discourse (cf. BDAG 1105 s.v. ὡς 5).

[10:28]  ⁸ tn This term is used of wanton or callously lawless acts (BDAG 24 s.v. ἀθέμιτος).

[10:28]  ⁹ tn Grk “a Jewish man” (ἀνδρὶ ᾿Ιουδαίῳ, andri Ioudaiw).

[10:28]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “a foreigner,” but in this context, “a non-Jew,” that is, a Gentile. This term speaks of intimate association (BDAG 556 s.v. κολλάω 2.b.α). On this Jewish view, see John 18:28, where a visit to a Gentile residence makes a Jewish person unclean.

[10:28]  ¹¹ tn This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo").

[10:28]  ¹² tn Possibly there is a subtle distinction in meaning between κοινός (koinos) and ἀκάθαρτος (akaqartos) here, but according to L&N 53.39 it is difficult to determine precise differences in meaning based on existing contexts.

[10:28]  sn God has shown me…unclean. Peter sees the significance of his vision as not about food, but about open fellowship between Jewish Christians and Gentiles.
