Kisah Para Rasul 7:44

7:44 Our ancestors ¹  had the tabernacle ²  of testimony in the wilderness, ³  just as God ⁴  who spoke to Moses ordered him ⁵  to make it according to the design he had seen.

Kisah Para Rasul 13:10

13:10 and said, “You who are full of all deceit and all wrongdoing, ⁶  you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness – will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord? ⁷ 

Kisah Para Rasul 15:17

15:17 so that the rest of humanity ⁸  may seek the Lord,

namely, ⁹  all the Gentiles ¹⁰  I have called to be my own,’ ¹¹  says the Lord, ¹²  who makes these things

Kisah Para Rasul 18:26

18:26 He began to speak out fearlessly ¹³  in the synagogue, ¹⁴  but when Priscilla and Aquila ¹⁵  heard him, they took him aside ¹⁶  and explained the way of God to him more accurately.

[7:44]  ¹ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[7:44]  ² tn Or “tent.”

[7:44]  sn The tabernacle was the tent used to house the ark of the covenant before the construction of Solomon’s temple. This is where God was believed to reside, yet the people were still unfaithful.

[7:44]  ³ tn Or “desert.”

[7:44]  ⁴ tn Grk “the one”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:44]  ⁵ tn The word “him” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.

[13:10]  ⁶ tn Or “unscrupulousness.”

[13:10]  ⁷ sn “You who…paths of the Lord?” This rebuke is like ones from the OT prophets: Jer 5:27; Gen 32:11; Prov 10:7; Hos 14:9. Five separate remarks indicate the magician’s failings. The closing rhetorical question of v. 10 (“will you not stop…?”) shows how opposed he is to the way of God.

[15:17]  ⁸ tn Or “so that all other people.” The use of this term follows Amos 9:11 LXX.

[15:17]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) introduces an explanatory clause that explains the preceding phrase “the rest of humanity.” The clause introduced by καί (kai) could also be punctuated in English as a parenthesis.

[15:17]  ¹⁰ tn Or “all the nations” (in Greek the word for “nation” and “Gentile” is the same).

[15:17]  sn Note the linkage back to v. 14 through the mention of Gentiles. What Simeon explained is what the OT text says would happen.

[15:17]  ¹¹ tn Grk “all the Gentiles on whom my name has been called.” Based on well-attested OT usage, the passive of ἐπικαλέω (epikalew) here indicates God’s ownership (“all the Gentiles who belong to me”) or calling (“all the Gentiles whom I have called to be my own”). See L&N 11.28.

[15:17]  ¹² sn A quotation from Amos 9:11-12 LXX. James demonstrated a high degree of cultural sensitivity when he cited a version of the text (the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament) that Gentiles would use.

[18:26]  ¹³ tn Or “boldly.” This is a frequent term in Acts (9:27-28; 13:46; 14:3; 19:8; 26:26).

[18:26]  ¹⁴ sn See the note on synagogue in 6:9.

[18:26]  ¹⁵ sn Priscilla and Aquila. This key couple, of which Priscilla was an important enough figure to be mentioned by name, instructed Apollos about the most recent work of God. See also the note on Aquila in 18:2.

[18:26]  ¹⁶ tn BDAG 883 s.v. προσλαμβάνω 3 has “take aside, mid. τινά someone…So prob. also Ac 18:26: Priscilla and Aquila take Apollos aside to teach him undisturbed.”
