Lukas 10:9

10:9 Heal ¹  the sick in that town ²  and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God ³  has come upon ⁴  you!’

Ulangan 30:11-14

Exhortation to Covenant Obedience

30:11 “This commandment I am giving ⁵  you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it too remote. 30:12 It is not in heaven, as though one must say, “Who will go up to heaven to get it for us and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 30:13 And it is not across the sea, as though one must say, “Who will cross over to the other side of the sea and get it for us and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 30:14 For the thing is very near you – it is in your mouth and in your mind ⁶  so that you can do it.

Kisah Para Rasul 13:26

13:26 Brothers, ⁷  descendants ⁸  of Abraham’s family, ⁹  and those Gentiles among you who fear God, ¹⁰  the message ¹¹  of this salvation has been sent to us.

Kisah Para Rasul 13:40

13:40 Watch out, ¹²  then, that what is spoken about by ¹³  the prophets does not happen to you:

Kisah Para Rasul 13:46

13:46 Both Paul and Barnabas replied courageously, ¹⁴  “It was necessary to speak the word of God ¹⁵  to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy ¹⁶  of eternal life, we ¹⁷  are turning to the Gentiles. ¹⁸ 

Roma 10:8

10:8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” ¹⁹  (that is, the word of faith that we preach),

Roma 10:21

10:21 But about Israel he says, “All day long I held out my hands to this disobedient and stubborn people!” ²⁰ 

Ibrani 1:3

1:3 The Son is ²¹  the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, and he sustains all things by his powerful word, ²²  and so when he had accomplished cleansing for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. ²³ 

[10:9]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[10:9]  sn Ministry (heal the sick) is to take place where it is well received (note welcome in the preceding verse).

[10:9]  ² tn Grk “in it”; the referent (that town) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:9]  ³ sn The kingdom of God is a major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20-21.

[10:9]  ⁴ tn Or “come near to you,” suggesting the approach (but not arrival) of the kingdom. But the combination of the perfect tense of ἐγγίζω (engizw) with the preposition ἐπί (epi) most likely suggests that the sense is “has come upon” (see BDAG 270 s.v. ἐγγίζω 2; W. R. Hutton, “The Kingdom of God Has Come,” ExpTim 64 [Dec 1952]: 89-91; and D. L. Bock, Luke [BECNT], 2:1000; cf. also NAB “is at hand for you”). These passages argue that a key element of the kingdom is its ability to overcome the power of Satan and those elements in the creation that oppose humanity. Confirmation of this understanding comes in v. 18 and in Luke 11:14-23, especially the parable of vv. 21-23.

[30:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “commanding”; NAB “which I enjoin on you.”

[30:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “heart.”

[13:26]  ⁷ tn Grk “Men brothers,” but this is both awkward and unnecessary in English.

[13:26]  ⁸ tn Grk “sons”

[13:26]  ⁹ tn Or “race.”

[13:26]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “and those among you who fear God,” but this is practically a technical term for the category called God-fearers, Gentiles who worshiped the God of Israel and in many cases kept the Mosaic law, but did not take the final step of circumcision necessary to become a proselyte to Judaism. See further K. G. Kuhn, TDNT 6:732-34, 743-44. Note how Paul includes God-fearing Gentiles as recipients of this promise.

[13:26]  ¹¹ tn Grk “word.”

[13:40]  ¹² sn The speech closes with a warning, “Watch out,” that also stresses culpability.

[13:40]  ¹³ tn Or “in.”

[13:46]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “Both Paul and Barnabas spoke out courageously and said.” The redundancy is removed in the translation and the verb “replied” is used in keeping with the logical sequence of events. The theme of boldness reappears: Acts 4:24-30; 9:27-28.

[13:46]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken.” For smoothness and simplicity of English style, the passive construction has been converted to active voice in the translation.

[13:46]  ¹⁶ tn Or “and consider yourselves unworthy.”

[13:46]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “behold, we.” In this context ἰδού (idou) is not easily translated into English.

[13:46]  ¹⁸ sn This turning to the Gentiles would be a shocking rebuke to 1st century Jews who thought they alone were the recipients of the promise.

[10:8]  ¹⁹ sn A quotation from Deut 30:14.

[10:21]  ²⁰ sn A quotation from Isa 65:2.

[1:3]  ²¹ tn Grk “who being…and sustaining.” Heb 1:1-4 form one skillfully composed sentence in Greek, but it must be broken into shorter segments to correspond to contemporary English usage, which does not allow for sentences of this length and complexity.

[1:3]  ²² tn Grk “by the word of his power.”

[1:3]  ²³ sn An allusion to Ps 110:1, quoted often in Hebrews.
