Kisah Para Rasul 4:21

4:21 After threatening them further, they released them, for they could not find how to punish them on account of the people, because they were all praising ¹  God for what had happened.

Kisah Para Rasul 13:22

13:22 After removing him, God ²  raised up ³  David their king. He testified about him: ⁴  ‘I have found David ⁵  the son of Jesse to be a man after my heart, ⁶  who will accomplish everything I want him to do.’ ⁷ 

Kisah Para Rasul 23:9

23:9 There was a great commotion, ⁸  and some experts in the law ⁹  from the party of the Pharisees stood up ¹⁰  and protested strongly, ¹¹  “We find nothing wrong ¹²  with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”

[4:21]  ¹ tn Or “glorifying.”

[13:22]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:22]  ³ sn The expression raised up refers here to making someone king. There is a wordplay here: “raising up” refers to bringing someone onto the scene of history, but it echoes with the parallel to Jesus’ resurrection.

[13:22]  ⁴ tn Grk “about whom.” The relative pronoun (“whom”) was replaced by the pronoun “him” and a new sentence was begun in the translation at this point to improve the English style, due to the length of the sentence in Greek. The verb εἶπεν (eipen) has not been translated (literally “he said testifying”) because it is redundant when combined with the participle μαρτυρήσας (marturhsa", “testifying”). Instead the construction of verb plus participle has been translated as a single English verb (“testified”).

[13:22]  ⁵ sn A quotation from Ps 89:20.

[13:22]  ⁶ sn A quotation from 1 Sam 13:14.

[13:22]  ⁷ tn Or “who will perform all my will,” “who will carry out all my wishes.”

[23:9]  ⁸ tn Or “clamor” (cf. BDAG 565 s.v. κραυγή 1.a, which has “there arose a loud outcry” here, and Exod 12:30).

[23:9]  ⁹ tn Or “and some scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 4:5.

[23:9]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “standing up.” The participle ἀναστάντες (anastante") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[23:9]  ¹¹ tn Grk “protested strongly, saying.” L&N 39.27 has “διαμάχομαι: to fight or contend with, involving severity and thoroughness – ‘to protest strongly, to contend with.’…‘some scribes from the party of the Pharisees protested strongly’ Ac 23:9.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant and has not been translated.

[23:9]  ¹² sn “We find nothing wrong with this man.” Here is another declaration of innocence. These leaders recognized the possibility that Paul might have the right to make his claim.
