Kisah Para Rasul 27:39

Paul is Shipwrecked

27:39 When day came, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed ⁶  a bay ⁷  with a beach, ⁸  where they decided to run the ship aground if they could.

[2:4]  ¹ tn Grk “And all.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[2:4]  ² tn The Greek term is γλώσσαις (glwssai"), the same word used for the tongues of fire.

[2:4]  sn Other languages. Acts 2:6-7 indicates that these were languages understandable to the hearers, a diverse group from “every nation under heaven.”

[2:4]  ³ tn Grk “just as the spirit gave them to utter.” The verb ἀποφθέγγομαι (apofqengomai) was used of special utterances in Classical Greek (BDAG 125 s.v.).

[5:40]  ⁴ sn Had them beaten. The punishment was the “forty lashes minus one,” see also Acts 22:19; 2 Cor 11:24; Mark 13:9. The apostles had disobeyed the religious authorities and took their punishment for their “disobedience” (Deut 25:2-3; m. Makkot 3:10-14). In Acts 4:18 they were warned. Now they are beaten. The hostility is rising as the narrative unfolds.

[5:40]  ⁵ tn The word “Then” is supplied as the beginning of a new sentence in the translation. The construction in Greek has so many clauses (most of them made up of participles) that a continuous English sentence would be very awkward.

[27:39]  ⁶ tn Or “observed,” “saw.”

[27:39]  ⁷ tn Or “gulf” (BDAG 557 s.v. κόλπος 3).

[27:39]  ⁸ sn A beach would refer to a smooth sandy beach suitable for landing.
