Acts 2:14

Peter’s Address on the Day of Pentecost

2:14 But Peter stood up ⁹  with the eleven, raised his voice, and addressed them: “You men of Judea ¹⁰  and all you who live in Jerusalem, ¹¹  know this ¹²  and listen carefully to what I say.

Acts 4:10

4:10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ ¹³  the Nazarene whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands before you healthy.

[13:38]  ¹ tn That is, Jesus. This pronoun is in emphatic position in the Greek text. Following this phrase in the Greek text is the pronoun ὑμῖν (Jumin, “to you”), so that the emphasis for the audience is that “through Jesus to you” these promises have come.

[28:28]  ² tn Grk “Therefore let it be known to you.”

[28:28]  ³ tn Or “of God.”

[28:28]  ⁴ sn The term Gentiles is in emphatic position in the Greek text of this clause. Once again there is the pattern: Jewish rejection of the gospel leads to an emphasis on Gentile inclusion (Acts 13:44-47).

[28:28]  ⁵ tn Grk “they also.”

[1:20]  ³ tn Or “uninhabited” or “empty.”

[1:20]  ⁴ sn A quotation from Ps 69:25.

[1:20]  ⁵ tn Or “Let another take his office.”

[2:14]  ⁴ tn Grk “standing up.” The participle σταθείς (staqei") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[2:14]  ⁵ tn Or “You Jewish men.” “Judea” is preferred here because it is paired with “Jerusalem,” a location. This suggests locality rather than ethnic background is the primary emphasis in the context. As for “men,” the Greek term here is ἀνήρ (anhr), which only exceptionally is used in a generic sense of both males and females. In this context, where “all” who live in Jerusalem are addressed, it is conceivable that this is a generic usage, although it can also be argued that Peter’s remarks were addressed primarily to the men present, even if women were there.

[2:14]  ⁶ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[2:14]  ⁷ tn Grk “let this be known to you.” The passive construction has been translated as an active for stylistic reasons.

[4:10]  ⁵ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”
