Acts 2:20

2:20 The sun will be changed to darkness

and the moon to blood

before the great and glorious ¹  day of the Lord comes.

Acts 10:11

10:11 He ²  saw heaven ³  opened ⁴  and an object something like a large sheet ⁵  descending, ⁶  being let down to earth ⁷  by its four corners.

[2:20]  ¹ tn Or “and wonderful.”

[10:11]  ² 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]  ³ tn Or “the sky” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”).

[10:11]  ⁴ 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]  ⁵ tn Or “a large linen cloth” (the term was used for the sail of a ship; BDAG 693 s.v. ὀθόνη).

[10:11]  ⁶ tn Or “coming down.”

[10:11]  ⁷ tn Or “to the ground.”
