Kisah Para Rasul 5:17

Further Trouble for the Apostles

5:17 Now the high priest rose up, and all those with him (that is, the religious party of the Sadducees ¹ ), ²  and they were filled with jealousy. ³ 

Kisah Para Rasul 9:7

9:7 (Now the men ⁴  who were traveling with him stood there speechless, ⁵  because they heard the voice but saw no one.) ⁶ 

Kisah Para Rasul 15:11

15:11 On the contrary, we believe that we are saved through ⁷  the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they are.” ⁸ 

Kisah Para Rasul 20:2

20:2 After he had gone through those regions ⁹  and spoken many words of encouragement ¹⁰  to the believers there, ¹¹  he came to Greece, ¹² 

Kisah Para Rasul 23:7

23:7 When he said this, ¹³  an argument ¹⁴  began ¹⁵  between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.

[5:17]  ¹ sn See the note on Sadducees in 4:1.

[5:17]  ² sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.

[5:17]  ³ sn Filled with jealousy. In Acts, the term “jealousy” (ζήλος, zhlos) occurs only here and in Acts 13:45. It is a key term in Judaism for religiously motivated rage (1 Macc 2:24; 1QH 14:13-15; m. Sanhedrin 9:5). It was a zeal motivated by a desire to maintain the purity of the faith.

[9:7]  ⁴ tn The Greek term here is ἀνήρ (anhr), which is used only rarely in a generic sense of both men and women. In the historical setting here, Paul’s traveling companions were almost certainly all males.

[9:7]  ⁵ tn That is, unable to speak because of fear or amazement. See BDAG 335 s.v. ἐνεός.

[9:7]  ⁶ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author. Acts 22:9 appears to indicate that they saw the light but did not hear a voice. They were “witnesses” that something happened.

[15:11]  ⁷ tn Or “by.”

[15:11]  ⁸ tn Or “Jesus, just as they are.” BDAG 1016-17 s.v. τρόπος 1 translates καθ᾿ ὃν τρόπον (kaq’ Jon tropon) here as “in the same way as.”

[15:11]  sn In the same way as they are. Here is an interesting reversal of the argument. Jews are saved by grace (without law), as Gentiles are.

[20:2]  ⁹ tn BDAG 633 s.v. μέρος 1.b.γ gives the meanings “the parts (of a geographical area), region, district,” but the use of “district” in this context probably implies too much specificity.

[20:2]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “and encouraging them with many words.” The participle παρακαλέσας (parakalesa", “encouraging”) has been translated by the phrase “spoken…words of encouragement” because the formal equivalent is awkward in contemporary English.

[20:2]  ¹¹ tn Grk “[to] them”; the referent (the believers there) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:2]  ¹² tn In popular usage the term translated “Greece” here could also refer to the Roman province officially known as Achaia (BDAG 318 s.v. ῾Ελλάς).

[23:7]  ¹³ tn The participle εἰπόντος (eiponto") has been translated temporally.

[23:7]  ¹⁴ tn Or “a dispute” (BDAG 940 s.v. στάσις 3).

[23:7]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “there came about an argument.” This has been simplified to “an argument began”
