Kisah Para Rasul 8:8

8:8 So there was ¹  great joy ²  in that city.

Kisah Para Rasul 20:5

20:5 These had gone on ahead ³  and were waiting for us in Troas. ⁴ 

[8:8]  ¹ tn Grk “and there came about,” but this is somewhat awkward in English.

[8:8]  ² sn Great joy. The reason for eschatological joy was that such events pointed to God’s decisive deliverance (Luke 7:22-23). Note how the acts of healing extend beyond the Twelve here.

[20:5]  ³ tn Grk “These, having gone on ahead, were waiting.” The participle προελθόντες (proelqonte") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[20:5]  ⁴ sn Troas was a port city (and surrounding region) on the northwest coast of Asia Minor.
