Kisah Para Rasul 9:39

9:39 So Peter got up and went with them, and ¹  when he arrived ²  they brought him to the upper room. All ³  the widows stood beside him, crying and showing him ⁴  the tunics ⁵  and other clothing ⁶  Dorcas used to make ⁷  while she was with them.

Kisah Para Rasul 21:26

21:26 Then Paul took the men the next day, ⁸  and after he had purified himself ⁹  along with them, he went to the temple and gave notice ¹⁰  of the completion of the days of purification, ¹¹  when ¹²  the sacrifice would be offered for each ¹³  of them.

Kisah Para Rasul 23:21

23:21 So do not let them persuade you to do this, ¹⁴  because more than forty of them ¹⁵  are lying in ambush ¹⁶  for him. They ¹⁷  have bound themselves with an oath ¹⁸  not to eat or drink anything ¹⁹  until they have killed him, and now they are ready, waiting for you to agree to their request.” ²⁰ 

Kisah Para Rasul 28:17

Paul Addresses the Jewish Community in Rome

28:17 After three days ²¹  Paul ²²  called the local Jewish leaders ²³  together. When they had assembled, he said to them, “Brothers, ²⁴  although I had done ²⁵  nothing against our people or the customs of our ancestors, ²⁶  from Jerusalem ²⁷  I was handed over as a prisoner to the Romans. ²⁸ 

Kisah Para Rasul 28:27

28:27 For the heart of this people has become dull, ²⁹ 

and their ears are hard of hearing, ³⁰ 

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, ³¹  and I would heal them.”’ ³² 

[9:39]  ¹ 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]  ² tn The participle παραγενόμενον (paragenomenon) is taken temporally.

[9:39]  ³ 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]  ⁴ 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]  ⁵ 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]  ⁶ tn Grk “and garments,” referring here to other types of clothing besides the tunics just mentioned.

[9:39]  ⁷ tn The verb ἐποίει (epoiei) has been translated as a customary imperfect.

[21:26]  ⁸ 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]  ⁹ tn That is, after he had undergone ritual cleansing. The aorist passive participle ἁγνισθείς (Jagnisqei") has been taken temporally of antecedent action.

[21:26]  ¹⁰ 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]  ¹¹ sn The days of purification refers to the days of ritual cleansing.

[21:26]  ¹² 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]  ¹³ tn Grk “for each one.”

[23:21]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “do not be persuaded by them.” The passive construction μὴ πεισθῇς αὐτοῖς (mh peisqh" autoi") has been converted to an active construction in the translation, and the phrase “to do this” supplied to indicate more clearly the object of their persuasion.

[23:21]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “forty men of them.” In the expression ἐξ αὐτῶν ἄνδρες (ex autwn andre") “men” is somewhat redundant and has not been included in the English translation.

[23:21]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “are lying in wait for him” (BDAG 334 s.v. ἐνεδρεύω); see also v. 16.

[23:21]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “for him, who.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the relative pronoun (“who”) was translated by the third person plural pronoun (“they”) and a new sentence begun in the translation.

[23:21]  ¹⁸ tn Or “bound themselves under a curse.” BDAG 63 s.v. ἀναθεματίζω 1 has “trans. put under a curse τινά someone… ἀ. ἑαυτόν vss. 12, 21, 13 v.l.”

[23:21]  ¹⁹ tn The word “anything” 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.

[23:21]  ²⁰ tn Grk “waiting for your approval,” “waiting for your agreement.” Since it would be possible to misunderstand the literal translation “waiting for your approval” to mean that the Jews were waiting for the commander’s approval to carry out their plot or to kill Paul (as if he were to be an accomplice to their plot), the object of the commander’s approval (their request to bring Paul to the council) has been specified in the translation as “their request.”

[28:17]  ²¹ 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]  ²² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[28:17]  ²³ tn L&N 33.309 has “‘after three days, he called the local Jewish leaders together’ Ac 28:17.”

[28:17]  ²⁴ tn Grk “Men brothers,” but this is both awkward and unnecessary in English.

[28:17]  ²⁵ tn The participle ποιήσας (poihsas) has been translated as a concessive adverbial participle.

[28:17]  ²⁶ 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]  ²⁷ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

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

[28:27]  ²⁹ 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]  ³⁰ tn Grk “they hear heavily with their ears” (an idiom for slow comprehension).

[28:27]  ³¹ sn Note how the failure to respond to the message of the gospel is seen as a failure to turn.

[28:27]  ³² sn A quotation from Isa 6:9-10.
