Acts 2:11-13

2:11 both Jews and proselytes, ¹  Cretans and Arabs – we hear them speaking in our own languages about the great deeds God has done!” ²  2:12 All were astounded and greatly confused, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” 2:13 But others jeered at the speakers, ³  saying, “They are drunk on new wine!” ⁴ 

Acts 2:46-47

2:46 Every day ⁵  they continued to gather together by common consent in the temple courts, ⁶  breaking bread from ⁷  house to house, sharing their food with glad ⁸  and humble hearts, ⁹  2:47 praising God and having the good will ¹⁰  of all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number every day ¹¹  those who were being saved.

[2:11]  ¹ sn Proselytes refers to Gentile (i.e., non-Jewish) converts to Judaism.

[2:11]  ² tn Or “God’s mighty works.” Here the genitive τοῦ θεοῦ (tou qeou) has been translated as a subjective genitive.

[2:13]  ³ tn The words “the speakers” are not in the Greek text, but have been supplied for clarity. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[2:13]  ⁴ tn Grk “They are full of new wine!”

[2:46]  ⁵ tn BDAG 437 s.v. ἡμέρα 2.c has “every day” for this phrase.

[2:46]  ⁶ tn Grk “in the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.

[2:46]  ⁷ tn Here κατά (kata) is used as a distributive (BDAG 512 s.v. B.1.d).

[2:46]  ⁸ sn The term glad (Grk “gladness”) often refers to joy brought about by God’s saving acts (Luke 1:14, 44; also the related verb in 1:47; 10:21).

[2:46]  ⁹ tn Grk “with gladness and humbleness of hearts.” It is best to understand καρδίας (kardias) as an attributed genitive, with the two nouns it modifies actually listing attributes of the genitive noun which is related to them.

[2:47]  ¹⁰ tn Or “the favor.”

[2:47]  ¹¹ tn BDAG 437 s.v. ἡμέρα 2.c has “every day” for this phrase.
