Kisah Para Rasul 3:24

3:24 And all the prophets, from Samuel and those who followed him, have spoken about and announced ¹  these days.

Kisah Para Rasul 15:17

15:17 so that the rest of humanity ²  may seek the Lord,

namely, ³  all the Gentiles ⁴  I have called to be my own,’ ⁵  says the Lord, ⁶  who makes these things

Kisah Para Rasul 17:13

17:13 But when the Jews from Thessalonica ⁷  heard that Paul had also proclaimed the word of God ⁸  in Berea, ⁹  they came there too, inciting ¹⁰  and disturbing ¹¹  the crowds.

Kisah Para Rasul 17:28

17:28 For in him we live and move about ¹²  and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we too are his offspring.’ ¹³ 

[3:24]  ¹ tn Or “proclaimed.”

[3:24]  sn All the prophets…have spoken about and announced. What Peter preaches is rooted in basic biblical and Jewish hope as expressed in the OT scriptures.

[15:17]  ² tn Or “so that all other people.” The use of this term follows Amos 9:11 LXX.

[15:17]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) introduces an explanatory clause that explains the preceding phrase “the rest of humanity.” The clause introduced by καί (kai) could also be punctuated in English as a parenthesis.

[15:17]  ⁴ tn Or “all the nations” (in Greek the word for “nation” and “Gentile” is the same).

[15:17]  sn Note the linkage back to v. 14 through the mention of Gentiles. What Simeon explained is what the OT text says would happen.

[15:17]  ⁵ tn Grk “all the Gentiles on whom my name has been called.” Based on well-attested OT usage, the passive of ἐπικαλέω (epikalew) here indicates God’s ownership (“all the Gentiles who belong to me”) or calling (“all the Gentiles whom I have called to be my own”). See L&N 11.28.

[15:17]  ⁶ sn A quotation from Amos 9:11-12 LXX. James demonstrated a high degree of cultural sensitivity when he cited a version of the text (the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament) that Gentiles would use.

[17:13]  ⁷ sn Thessalonica was a city in Macedonia (modern Salonica).

[17:13]  ⁸ tn Grk “that the word of God had also been proclaimed by Paul.” This passive construction has been converted to an active one in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[17:13]  ⁹ sn Berea (alternate spelling in NRSV Beroea; Greek Beroia) was a very old city in Macedonia on the river Astraeus about 45 mi (75 km) from Thessalonica.

[17:13]  ¹⁰ tn BDAG 911 s.v. σαλεύω 2 has “incite” for σαλεύοντες (saleuonte") in Acts 17:13.

[17:13]  sn Inciting. Ironically, it was the Jews who were disturbing the peace, not the Christians.

[17:13]  ¹¹ tn Or “stirring up” (BDAG 990-91 s.v. ταράσσω 2). The point is the agitation of the crowds.

[17:28]  ¹² tn According to L&N 15.1, “A strictly literal translation of κινέω in Ac 17:28 might imply merely moving from one place to another. The meaning, however, is generalized movement and activity; therefore, it may be possible to translate κινούμεθα as ‘we come and go’ or ‘we move about’’ or even ‘we do what we do.’”

[17:28]  ¹³ sn This quotation is from Aratus (ca. 310-245 b.c.), Phaenomena 5. Paul asserted a general relationship and accountability to God for all humanity.
