Kisah Para Rasul 2:23

2:23 this man, who was handed over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you executed ¹  by nailing him to a cross at the hands of Gentiles. ² 

Kisah Para Rasul 4:16

4:16 saying, “What should we do with these men? For it is plain ³  to all who live in Jerusalem that a notable miraculous sign ⁴  has come about through them, ⁵  and we cannot deny it.

Kisah Para Rasul 23:27

23:27 This man was seized ⁶  by the Jews and they were about to kill him, ⁷  when I came up ⁸  with the detachment ⁹  and rescued him, because I had learned that he was ¹⁰  a Roman citizen. ¹¹ 

Kisah Para Rasul 28:26

28:26 when he said,

‘Go to this people and say,

“You will keep on hearing, ¹²  but will never understand,

and you will keep on looking, ¹³  but will never perceive.

[2:23]  ¹ tn Or “you killed.”

[2:23]  ² tn Grk “at the hands of lawless men.” At this point the term ἄνομος (anomo") refers to non-Jews who live outside the Jewish (Mosaic) law, rather than people who broke any or all laws including secular laws. Specifically it is a reference to the Roman soldiers who carried out Jesus’ crucifixion.

[4:16]  ³ tn Or “evident.”

[4:16]  ⁴ tn Here σημεῖον (shmeion) has been translated as “miraculous sign” rather than simply “sign” or “miracle” since both components appear to be present in the context. It is clear that the healing of the lame man was a miracle, but for the Sanhedrin it was the value of the miraculous healing as a sign that concerned them because it gave attestation to the message of Peter and John. The sign “speaks” as Peter claimed in 3:11-16.

[4:16]  ⁵ tn Or “has been done by them.”

[23:27]  ⁶ tn The participle συλλημφθέντα (sullhmfqenta) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. The remark reviews events of Acts 21:27-40.

[23:27]  ⁷ tn Grk “and was about to be killed by them.” The passive construction has been converted to an active one in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[23:27]  ⁸ tn Or “approached.”

[23:27]  ⁹ tn Normally this term means “army,” but according to BDAG 947 s.v. στράτευμα, “Of a smaller detachment of soldiers, sing. Ac 23:10, 27.” In the plural it can be translated “troops,” but it is singular here.

[23:27]  ¹⁰ tn In Greek this is a present tense retained in indirect discourse.

[23:27]  ¹¹ tn The word “citizen” is supplied here for emphasis and clarity.

[23:27]  sn The letter written by the Roman commander Claudius Lysias was somewhat self-serving. He made it sound as if the rescue of a Roman citizen had been a conscious act on his part. In fact, he had made the discovery of Paul’s Roman citizenship somewhat later. See Acts 21:37-39 and 22:24-29.

[28:26]  ¹² tn Grk “you will hear with hearing” (an idiom).

[28:26]  ¹³ tn Or “seeing”; Grk “you will look by looking” (an idiom).
