Kisah Para Rasul 2:37

The Response to Peter’s Address

2:37 Now when they heard this, ¹  they were acutely distressed ²  and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “What should we do, brothers?”

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 22:10

22:10 So I asked, ⁶  ‘What should I do, Lord?’ The Lord said to me, ‘Get up ⁷  and go to Damascus; there you will be told about everything ⁸  that you have been designated ⁹  to do.’

[2:37]  ¹ tn The word “this” is not in the Greek text. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.

[2:37]  ² tn Grk “they were pierced to the heart” (an idiom for acute emotional distress).

[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.”

[22:10]  ⁶ tn Grk “So I said.”

[22:10]  ⁷ tn Grk “Getting up.” The participle ἀναστάς (anasta") is an adverbial participle of attendant circumstance and has been translated as a finite verb.

[22:10]  ⁸ tn Grk “about all things.”

[22:10]  ⁹ tn Or “assigned,” “ordered.” BDAG 991 s.v. τάσσω 2.a has “act. and pass., foll. by acc. w. inf.…περὶ πάντων ὧν τέτακταί σοι ποιῆσαι concerning everything that you have been ordered to do 22:10.” There is an allusion to a divine call and commission here.
