Kisah Para Rasul 2:17

2:17 ‘And in the last days ¹  it will be,’ God says,

‘that I will pour out my Spirit on all people, ² 

and your sons and your daughters will prophesy,

and your young men will see visions,

and your old men will dream dreams.

Kisah Para Rasul 3:2

3:2 And a man lame ³  from birth ⁴  was being carried up, who was placed at the temple gate called “the Beautiful Gate” every day ⁵  so he could beg for money ⁶  from those going into the temple courts. ⁷ 

Kisah Para Rasul 8:1

8:1 And Saul agreed completely with killing ⁸  him.

Saul Begins to Persecute the Church

Now on that day a great ⁹  persecution began ¹⁰  against the church in Jerusalem, ¹¹  and all ¹²  except the apostles were forced to scatter throughout the regions ¹³  of Judea and Samaria.

Kisah Para Rasul 20:4

20:4 Paul ¹⁴  was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, ¹⁵  Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, ¹⁶  Gaius ¹⁷  from Derbe, ¹⁸  and Timothy, as well as Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia. ¹⁹ 

Kisah Para Rasul 23:9

23:9 There was a great commotion, ²⁰  and some experts in the law ²¹  from the party of the Pharisees stood up ²²  and protested strongly, ²³  “We find nothing wrong ²⁴  with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”

[2:17]  ¹ sn The phrase in the last days is not quoted from Joel, but represents Peter’s interpretive explanation of the current events as falling “in the last days.”

[2:17]  ² tn Grk “on all flesh.”

[3:2]  ³ tn Or “crippled.”

[3:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “from his mother’s womb.”

[3:2]  ⁵ tn BDAG 437 s.v. ἡμέρα 2.c has “every day” for this phrase.

[3:2]  ⁶ tn Grk “alms.” The term “alms” is not in common use today, so what the man expected, “money,” is used in the translation instead. The idea is that of money given as a gift to someone who was poor. Giving alms was viewed as honorable in Judaism (Tob 1:3, 16; 12:8-9; m. Pe’ah 1:1). See also Luke 11:41; 12:33; Acts 9:36; 10:2, 4, 31; 24:17.

[3:2]  ⁷ tn Grk “the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.

[3:2]  sn Into the temple courts. The exact location of this incident is debated. The ‘Beautiful Gate’ referred either to the Nicanor Gate (which led from the Court of the Gentiles into the Court of Women) or the Shushan Gate at the eastern wall.

[8:1]  ⁸ tn The term ἀναίρεσις (anairesi") can refer to murder (BDAG 64 s.v.; 2 Macc 5:13; Josephus, Ant. 5.2.12 [5.165]).

[8:1]  ⁹ tn Or “severe.”

[8:1]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “Now there happened on that day a great persecution.” It is less awkward to say in English “Now on that day a great persecution began.”

[8:1]  ¹¹ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[8:1]  ¹² sn All. Given that the Jerusalem church is still active after this and that the Hellenists are the focus of Acts 6-8, it is possible to argue that only the Hellenistic Christians were forced to scatter.

[8:1]  ¹³ tn Or “countryside.”

[20:4]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “He”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:4]  ¹⁵ sn Berea (alternate spelling in NRSV Beroea; Greek Beroia) was a very old city in Macedonia on the river Astraeus about 45 mi (75 km) from Thessalonica.

[20:4]  map For location see JP1 C1; JP2 C1; JP3 C1; JP4 C1.

[20:4]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “of the Thessalonians.”

[20:4]  map For location see JP1 C1; JP2 C1; JP3 C1; JP4 C1.

[20:4]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “and Gaius,” but this καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[20:4]  ¹⁸ sn Derbe was a city in Lycaonia about 30 mi (50 km) southeast of Lystra.

[20:4]  map For location see JP1 E2; JP2 E2; JP3 E2.

[20:4]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “the Asians Tychicus and Trophimus.” In the NT “Asia” always refers to the Roman province of Asia, made up of about one-third of the west and southwest end of modern Asia Minor. Asia lay to the west of the region of Phrygia and Galatia. The words “the province of” are supplied to indicate to the modern reader that this does not refer to the continent of Asia.

[23:9]  ²⁰ tn Or “clamor” (cf. BDAG 565 s.v. κραυγή 1.a, which has “there arose a loud outcry” here, and Exod 12:30).

[23:9]  ²¹ tn Or “and some scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 4:5.

[23:9]  ²² tn Grk “standing up.” The participle ἀναστάντες (anastante") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[23:9]  ²³ tn Grk “protested strongly, saying.” L&N 39.27 has “διαμάχομαι: to fight or contend with, involving severity and thoroughness – ‘to protest strongly, to contend with.’…‘some scribes from the party of the Pharisees protested strongly’ Ac 23:9.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant and has not been translated.

[23:9]  ²⁴ sn “We find nothing wrong with this man.” Here is another declaration of innocence. These leaders recognized the possibility that Paul might have the right to make his claim.
