9:18 Immediately ¹  something like scales ²  fell from his eyes, and he could see again. He ³  got up and was baptized,

Kisah Para Rasul 10:11

10:11 He ⁴  saw heaven ⁵  opened ⁶  and an object something like a large sheet ⁷  descending, ⁸  being let down to earth ⁹  by its four corners.

Kisah Para Rasul 19:39

19:39 But if you want anything in addition, ¹⁰  it will have to be settled ¹¹  in a legal assembly. ¹² 

[9:18]  ¹ tn Grk “And immediately.” 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.

[9:18]  ² tn The comparison to “scales” suggests a crusty covering which peeled away (cf. BDAG 592 s.v. λεπίς 2).

[9:18]  ³ tn Grk “and he.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence was started, with “and” placed before the final element of the previous clause as required by English style.

[10:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “And he.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun.

[10:11]  ⁵ tn Or “the sky” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”).

[10:11]  ⁶ tn On the heavens “opening,” see Matt 3:16; Luke 3:21; Rev 19:11 (cf. BDAG 84 s.v. ἀνοίγω 2). This is the language of a vision or a revelatory act of God.

[10:11]  ⁷ tn Or “a large linen cloth” (the term was used for the sail of a ship; BDAG 693 s.v. ὀθόνη).

[10:11]  ⁸ tn Or “coming down.”

[10:11]  ⁹ tn Or “to the ground.”

[19:39]  ¹⁰ tn Or “anything more than this.”

[19:39]  ¹¹ tn Or “resolved.”

[19:39]  ¹² tn Or “in a legal meeting of the citizens.” L&N 30.81 has “ἐν τῇ ἐννόμῳ ἐκκλησίᾳ ἐπιλυθήσεται ‘it will have to be settled in a legal meeting of the citizens’ Ac 19:39.” This meeting took place three times a year.
