Acts 4:11

4:11 This Jesus 1  is the stone that was rejected by you, 2  the builders, that has become the cornerstone. 3 

Acts 14:5

14:5 When both the Gentiles and the Jews (together with their rulers) made 4  an attempt to mistreat 5  them and stone them, 6 

1 tn Grk “This one”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn The word “you” is inserted into the quotation because Peter is making a direct application of Ps 118:22 to his hearers. Because it is not in the OT, it has been left as normal type (rather than bold italic). The remarks are like Acts 2:22-24 and 3:12-15.

3 sn A quotation from Ps 118:22 which combines the theme of rejection with the theme of God’s vindication/exaltation.

4 tn Grk “So there came about an attempt” 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.

5 tn On this verb see BDAG 1022 s.v. ὑβρίζω.

6 tn The direct object “them” is repeated after both verbs in the translation for stylistic reasons, although it occurs only after λιθοβολῆσαι (liqobolhsai) in the Greek text.
