Kisah Para Rasul 2:34

2:34 For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says,

‘The Lord said to my lord,

“Sit ¹  at my right hand

Kisah Para Rasul 9:36

Peter Raises Dorcas

9:36 Now in Joppa ²  there was a disciple named Tabitha (which in translation means ³  Dorcas). ⁴  She was continually doing good deeds and acts of charity. ⁵ 

Kisah Para Rasul 21:33

21:33 Then the commanding officer ⁶  came up and arrested ⁷  him and ordered him to be tied up with two chains; ⁸  he ⁹  then asked who he was and what ¹⁰  he had done.

Kisah Para Rasul 27:35

27:35 After he said this, Paul ¹¹  took bread ¹²  and gave thanks to God in front of them all, ¹³  broke ¹⁴  it, and began to eat.

[2:34]  ¹ sn Sit at my right hand. The word “sit” alludes back to the promise of “seating one on his throne” in v. 30.

[9:36]  ² sn Joppa was a seaport on the Philistine coast, in the same location as modern Jaffa. “Though Joppa never became a major seaport, it was of some importance as a logistical base and an outlet to the Mediterranean” (A. F. Rainey, ISBE 2:1118-19).

[9:36]  ³ tn Grk “which being translated is called.” In English this would normally be expressed “which is translated as” or “which in translation means.” The second option is given by L&N 33.145.

[9:36]  ⁴ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author. Dorcas is the Greek translation of the Aramaic name Tabitha. Dorcas in Greek means “gazelle” or “deer.”

[9:36]  ⁵ tn Or “and helping the poor.” Grk “She was full of good deeds and acts of charity which she was continually doing.” Since it is somewhat redundant in English to say “she was full of good deeds…which she was continually doing,” the translation has been simplified to “she was continually doing good deeds and acts of charity.” The imperfect verb ἐποίει (epoiei) has been translated as a progressive imperfect (“was continually doing”).

[21:33]  ⁶ tn Grk “the chiliarch” (an officer in command of a thousand soldiers). See note on the term “commanding officer” in v. 31.

[21:33]  ⁷ tn Grk “seized.”

[21:33]  ⁸ tn The two chains would be something like handcuffs (BDAG 48 s.v. ἅλυσις and compare Acts 28:20).

[21:33]  ⁹ tn Grk “and he.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was begun in the translation, and καί (kai) has been replaced with a semicolon. “Then” has been supplied after “he” to clarify the logical sequence.

[21:33]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “and what it is”; this has been simplified to “what.”

[27:35]  ¹¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[27:35]  ¹² tn Grk “taking bread, gave thanks.” The participle λαβών (labwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[27:35]  ¹³ tn Or “before them all,” but here this could be misunderstood to indicate a temporal sequence.

[27:35]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “and breaking it, he began.” The participle κλάσας (klasas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
