Kisah Para Rasul 25:23

Paul Before King Agrippa and Bernice

25:23 So the next day Agrippa ¹⁵  and Bernice came with great pomp ¹⁶  and entered the audience hall, ¹⁷  along with the senior military officers ¹⁸  and the prominent men of the city. When Festus ¹⁹  gave the order, ²⁰  Paul was brought in.

[4:16]  ¹ tn Or “evident.”

[4:16]  ² 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]  ³ tn Or “has been done by them.”

[7:6]  ⁴ tn Grk “that his”; the discourse switches from indirect to direct with the following verbs. For consistency the entire quotation is treated as second person direct discourse in the translation.

[7:6]  ⁵ tn Or “will be strangers,” that is, one who lives as a noncitizen of a foreign country.

[7:6]  ⁶ sn A quotation from Gen 15:13. Exod 12:40 specifies the sojourn as 430 years.

[7:44]  ⁷ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[7:44]  ⁸ tn Or “tent.”

[7:44]  sn The tabernacle was the tent used to house the ark of the covenant before the construction of Solomon’s temple. This is where God was believed to reside, yet the people were still unfaithful.

[7:44]  ⁹ tn Or “desert.”

[7:44]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “the one”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:44]  ¹¹ tn The word “him” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.

[12:6]  ¹² tn Grk “was going to bring him out,” but the upcoming trial is implied. See Acts 12:4.

[12:6]  ¹³ tn Grk “two chains, and.” Logically it makes better sense to translate this as a temporal clause, although technically it is a coordinate clause in Greek.

[12:6]  ¹⁴ tn Or “were guarding.”

[25:23]  ¹⁵ sn See the note on King Agrippa in 25:13.

[25:23]  ¹⁶ tn Or “great pageantry” (BDAG 1049 s.v. φαντασία; the term is a NT hapax legomenon).

[25:23]  sn Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp. The “royals” were getting their look at Paul. Everyone who was anyone would have been there.

[25:23]  ¹⁷ tn Or “auditorium.” “Auditorium” may suggest to the modern English reader a theater where performances are held. Here it is the large hall where a king or governor would hold audiences. Paul once spoke of himself as a “spectacle” to the world (1 Cor 4:8-13).

[25:23]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “the chiliarchs” (officers in command of a thousand soldiers). In Greek the term χιλίαρχος (ciliarco") literally described the “commander of a thousand,” but it was used as the standard translation for the Latin tribunus militum or tribunus militare, the military tribune who commanded a cohort of 600 men.

[25:23]  ¹⁹ sn See the note on Porcius Festus in 24:27.

[25:23]  ²⁰ tn Grk “and Festus ordering, Paul was brought in.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was begun in the translation, and καί (kai) has not been translated. The participle κελεύσαντος (keleusanto") has been taken temporally.
