9:17 So Ananias departed and entered the house, placed ¹  his hands on Saul ²  and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came here, ³  has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” ⁴ 

Kisah Para Rasul 9:39

9:39 So Peter got up and went with them, and ⁵  when he arrived ⁶  they brought him to the upper room. All ⁷  the widows stood beside him, crying and showing him ⁸  the tunics ⁹  and other clothing ¹⁰  Dorcas used to make ¹¹  while she was with them.

Kisah Para Rasul 21:11

21:11 He came ¹²  to us, took ¹³  Paul’s belt, ¹⁴  tied ¹⁵  his own hands and feet with it, ¹⁶  and said, “The Holy Spirit says this: ‘This is the way the Jews in Jerusalem will tie up the man whose belt this is, and will hand him over ¹⁷  to the Gentiles.’”

Kisah Para Rasul 28:17

Paul Addresses the Jewish Community in Rome

28:17 After three days ²⁴  Paul ²⁵  called the local Jewish leaders ²⁶  together. When they had assembled, he said to them, “Brothers, ²⁷  although I had done ²⁸  nothing against our people or the customs of our ancestors, ²⁹  from Jerusalem ³⁰  I was handed over as a prisoner to the Romans. ³¹ 

Kisah Para Rasul 28:27

28:27 For the heart of this people has become dull, ³² 

and their ears are hard of hearing, ³³ 

and they have closed their eyes,

so that they would not see with their eyes

and hear with their ears

and understand with their heart

and turn, ³⁴  and I would heal them.”’ ³⁵ 

[9:17]  ¹ tn Grk “and placing his hands on Saul, he said.” The participle ἐπιθείς (epiqei") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. For the same reason καί (kai) has not been translated before the participle.

[9:17]  ² tn Grk “on him”; the referent (Saul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:17]  ³ tn Grk “on the road in which you came,” but the relative clause makes for awkward English style, so it was translated as a temporal clause (“as you came here”).

[9:17]  ⁴ sn Be filled with the Holy Spirit. Here someone who is not an apostle (Ananias) commissions another person with the Spirit.

[9:39]  ⁵ tn Grk “who.” The relative clause makes for awkward English style here, so the following clause was made coordinate with the conjunction “and” supplied in place of the Greek relative pronoun.

[9:39]  ⁶ tn The participle παραγενόμενον (paragenomenon) is taken temporally.

[9:39]  ⁷ tn Grk “and all.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun.

[9:39]  ⁸ 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.

[9:39]  ⁹ tn Or “shirts” (a long garment worn under the cloak next to the skin). The name for this garment (χιτών, citwn) presents some difficulty in translation. Most modern readers would not understand what a ‘tunic’ was any more than they would be familiar with a ‘chiton.’ On the other hand attempts to find a modern equivalent are also a problem: “shirt” conveys the idea of a much shorter garment that covers only the upper body, and “undergarment” (given the styles of modern underwear) is more misleading still. “Tunic” was therefore employed, but with a note to explain its nature.

[9:39]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “and garments,” referring here to other types of clothing besides the tunics just mentioned.

[9:39]  ¹¹ tn The verb ἐποίει (epoiei) has been translated as a customary imperfect.

[21:11]  ¹² tn Grk “And coming.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here. The participle ἐλθών (elqwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[21:11]  ¹³ tn Grk “and taking.” This καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more. The participle ἄρας (aras) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[21:11]  ¹⁴ sn The belt was a band or sash used to keep money as well as to gird up the tunic (BDAG 431 s.v. ζώνη).

[21:11]  ¹⁵ tn The participle δήσας (dhsas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[21:11]  ¹⁶ tn The words “with it” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.

[21:11]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “and will deliver him over into the hands of” (a Semitic idiom).

[21:11]  sn The Jews…will tie up…and will hand him over. As later events will show, the Jews in Jerusalem did not personally tie Paul up and hand him over to the Gentiles, but their reaction to him was the cause of his arrest (Acts 21:27-36).

[21:26]  ¹⁸ tn BDAG 422 s.v. ἔχω 11.b.β has “temporal, to be next, immediately following…τῇ ἐχομένῃ…on the next day Lk 13:33…Ac 20:15; w. ἡμέρᾳ added…21:26.”

[21:26]  ¹⁹ tn That is, after he had undergone ritual cleansing. The aorist passive participle ἁγνισθείς (Jagnisqei") has been taken temporally of antecedent action.

[21:26]  ²⁰ tn Grk “entered the temple, giving notice.” The participle διαγγέλλων (diangellwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[21:26]  ²¹ sn The days of purification refers to the days of ritual cleansing.

[21:26]  ²² tn Grk “until” (BDAG 423 s.v. ἕως 1.b.β.א), but since in English it is somewhat awkward to say “the completion of the days of purification, until the sacrifice would be offered,” the temporal clause was translated “when the sacrifice would be offered.” The point is that the sacrifice would be offered when the days were completed. Paul honored the request of the Jewish Christian leadership completely. As the following verse makes clear, the vow was made for seven days.

[21:26]  ²³ tn Grk “for each one.”

[28:17]  ²⁴ tn Grk “It happened that after three days.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[28:17]  ²⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[28:17]  ²⁶ tn L&N 33.309 has “‘after three days, he called the local Jewish leaders together’ Ac 28:17.”

[28:17]  ²⁷ tn Grk “Men brothers,” but this is both awkward and unnecessary in English.

[28:17]  ²⁸ tn The participle ποιήσας (poihsas) has been translated as a concessive adverbial participle.

[28:17]  ²⁹ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[28:17]  sn I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our ancestors. Once again Paul claimed to be faithful to the Jewish people and to the God of Israel.

[28:17]  ³¹ tn Grk “into the hands of the Romans,” but this is redundant when παρεδόθην (paredoqhn) has been translated “handed over.”

[28:27]  ³² tn Or “insensitive.”

[28:27]  sn The heart of this people has become dull. The charge from Isaiah is like Stephen’s against the Jews of Jerusalem (Acts 7:51-53). They were a hard-hearted and disobedient people.

[28:27]  ³³ tn Grk “they hear heavily with their ears” (an idiom for slow comprehension).

[28:27]  ³⁴ sn Note how the failure to respond to the message of the gospel is seen as a failure to turn.

[28:27]  ³⁵ sn A quotation from Isa 6:9-10.
