Kisah Para Rasul 3:14

3:14 But you rejected ¹  the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a man who was a murderer be released to you.

Kisah Para Rasul 5:13

5:13 None of the rest dared to join them, ²  but the people held them in high honor. ³ 

Kisah Para Rasul 13:3

13:3 Then, after they had fasted ⁴  and ⁵  prayed and placed their hands ⁶  on them, they sent them off.

[3:14]  ¹ tn Or “denied,” “disowned.”

[5:13]  ² tn Or “to associate with them.” The group was beginning to have a controversial separate identity. People were cautious about joining them. The next verse suggests that the phrase “none of the rest” in this verse is rhetorical hyperbole.

[5:13]  ³ tn Or “the people thought very highly of them.”

[13:3]  ⁴ tn The three aorist participles νηστεύσαντες (nhsteusante"), προσευξάμενοι (proseuxamenoi), and ἐπιθέντες (epiqente") are translated as temporal participles. Although they could indicate contemporaneous time when used with an aorist main verb, logically here they are antecedent. On fasting and prayer, see Matt 6:5, 16; Luke 2:37; 5:33; Acts 14:23.

[13:3]  ⁵ tn Normally English style, which uses a coordinating conjunction between only the last two elements of a series of three or more, would call for omission of “and” here. However, since the terms “fasting and prayer” are something of a unit, often linked together, the conjunction has been retained here.

[13:3]  ⁶ sn The placing of hands on Barnabas and Saul (traditionally known as “the laying on of hands”) refers to an act picturing the commission of God and the church for the task at hand.
