Kisah Para Rasul 6:6

6:6 They stood these men before the apostles, who prayed ¹  and placed ²  their hands on them.

Kisah Para Rasul 20:34

20:34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine ³  provided for my needs and the needs of those who were with me.

[6:6]  ¹ tn Literally this is a participle in the Greek text (προσευξάμενοι, proseuxamenoi). It could be translated as a finite verb (“and they prayed and placed their hands on them”) but much smoother English results if the entire coordinate clause is converted to a relative clause that refers back to the apostles.

[6:6]  sn Who prayed. The prayer indicates their acceptance and commissioning for ministry (cf. Deut 34:9).

[6:6]  ² tn Or “laid.”

[20:34]  ³ tn The words “of mine” are not in the Greek text, but are supplied to clarify whose hands Paul is referring to.
