Kisah Para Rasul 8:10

8:10 All the people, ³  from the least to the greatest, paid close attention to him, saying, “This man is the power of God that is called ‘Great.’” ⁴ 

[5:13]  ¹ 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]  ² tn Or “the people thought very highly of them.”

[8:10]  ³ tn Grk “all of them”; the referent (the people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:10]  ⁴ tn Or “This man is what is called the Great Power of God.” The translation “what is called the Great Power of God” is given by BDAG 263 s.v. δύναμις 5, but the repetition of the article before καλουμένη μεγάλη (kaloumenh megalh) suggests the translation “the power of God that is called ‘Great.’”
