Acts 4:28

Context
4:28 to do as much as your power 1  and your plan 2  had decided beforehand 3  would happen.

Acts 13:40

Context
13:40 Watch out, 4  then, that what is spoken about by 5  the prophets does not happen to you:

1 tn Grk “hand,” here a metaphor for God’s strength or power or authority.

2 tn Or “purpose,” “will.”

3 tn Or “had predestined.” Since the term “predestine” is something of a technical theological term, not in wide usage in contemporary English, the translation “decide beforehand” was used instead (see L&N 30.84). God’s direction remains as the major theme.

4 sn The speech closes with a warning, “Watch out,” that also stresses culpability.

5 tn Or “in.”
