Kisah Para Rasul 10:44-45

The Gentiles Receive the Holy Spirit

10:44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on ⁴  all those who heard the message. ⁵  10:45 The ⁶  circumcised believers ⁷  who had accompanied Peter were greatly astonished ⁸  that ⁹  the gift of the Holy Spirit ¹⁰  had been poured out ¹¹  even on the Gentiles,

[10:24]  ¹ tn Grk “On the next day,” but since this phrase has already occurred in v. 23, it would be redundant in English to use it again here.

[10:24]  ² sn Caesarea was a city on the coast of Palestine south of Mount Carmel (not Caesarea Philippi).

[10:24]  ³ tn Normally προσδοκάω (prosdokaw) means “to wait with apprehension or anxiety for something,” often with the implication of impending danger or trouble (L&N 25.228), but in this context the anxiety Cornelius would have felt came from the importance of the forthcoming message as announced by the angel.

[10:44]  ⁴ tn Or “came down on.” God now acted to confirm the point of Peter’s speech.

[10:44]  ⁵ tn Or “word.”

[10:45]  ⁶ tn Grk “And the.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[10:45]  ⁷ tn Or “The Jewish Christians”; Grk “The believers from the circumcision.”

[10:45]  ⁸ sn The Jewish Christians who were with Peter were greatly astonished because they thought the promise of the Spirit would be limited only to those of Israel. God’s plan was taking on fresh dimensions even as it was a reflection of what the prophets had promised.

[10:45]  ⁹ tn Or “because.”

[10:45]  ¹⁰ tn That is, the gift consisting of the Holy Spirit. Here τοῦ πνεύματος (tou pneumato") is a genitive of apposition; the gift consists of the Spirit.

[10:45]  ¹¹ sn The gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out. Compare the account in Acts 2, especially 2:33. Note also Joel 2:17-21 and Acts 11:15-18.
