Kisah Para Rasul 13:8

13:8 But the magician Elymas ⁴  (for that is the way his name is translated) ⁵  opposed them, trying to turn the proconsul ⁶  away from the faith.

[7:26]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Moses) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:26]  ² tn Grk “saw them”; the context makes clear that two individuals were involved (v. 27).

[7:26]  ³ tn Or “tried to reconcile” (BDAG 964-65 s.v. συναλλάσσω).

[13:8]  ⁴ tn On the debate over what the name “Elymas” means, see BDAG 320 s.v. ᾿Ελύμας. The magician’s behavior is more directly opposed to the faith than Simon Magus’ was.

[13:8]  ⁵ sn A parenthetical note by the author.

[13:8]  ⁶ sn The proconsul was the Roman official who ruled over a province traditionally under the control of the Roman senate.
