Kisah Para Rasul 16:32

16:32 Then ¹  they spoke the word of the Lord ²  to him, along with all those who were in his house.

Kisah Para Rasul 19:14

19:14 (Now seven sons of a man named ³  Sceva, a Jewish high priest, were doing this.) ⁴ 

[16:32]  ¹ tn Grk “And they.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the continuity with the preceding verse. Greek style often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” but English style does not.

[16:32]  ² sn The word of the Lord is a technical expression in OT literature, often referring to a divine prophetic utterance (e.g., Gen 15:1, Isa 1:10, Jonah 1:1). In the NT it occurs 15 times: 3 times as ῥῆμα τοῦ κυρίου (rJhma tou kuriou; Luke 22:61, Acts 11:16, 1 Pet 1:25) and 12 times as λόγος τοῦ κυρίου (logo" tou kuriou; here and in Acts 8:25; 13:44, 48, 49; 15:35, 36; 19:10, 20; 1 Thess 1:8, 4:15; 2 Thess 3:1). As in the OT, this phrase focuses on the prophetic nature and divine origin of what has been said.

[19:14]  ³ tn Grk “a certain Sceva.”

[19:14]  ⁴ sn Within the sequence of the narrative, this amounts to a parenthetical note by the author.
