Note 1 topic: writing-politeness
χεὶρ Κυρίου
/the/_hand ˱of˲_/the/_Lord
In this instance, Luke seems to mean God the Father when he says the Lord. In 4:29–30, the believers pray, “Lord … stretch out your hand to heal and for signs and wonders to happen through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.” Luke seems to be describing these events as part of the answer to that prayer. Alternate translation: “the hand of God the Lord”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
χεὶρ
/the/_hand
Here, the hand represents power, since hands give people the capability to do things. Alternate translation: “the power”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἦν & μετ’ αὐτῶν
was & with them
When Luke says that God was with the men from Cyprus and Cyrene who were proclaiming the gospel, this is an idiom that means God was working through them. Alternate translation: “was working through them”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐπέστρεψεν ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον
turned_back to the Lord
Luke speaks of these Gentiles in Antioch as if they physically turned to the Lord. He means that they stopped living in one way and began to live in another way. They believed in Jesus and started to obey him. Alternate translation: “became disciples of Jesus”
Note 5 topic: writing-politeness
ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον
to the Lord
In this instance, Luke is referring to Jesus by a respectful title, as the General Notes to this chapter discuss. Use a form for addressing someone respectfully in your language. Alternate translation: “to the Lord Jesus”
11:19-26 The persecution that followed Stephen’s death forced believers into other areas (8:1-3), and they traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch.
• Antioch of Syria was a thriving cosmopolitan city, the third-largest in the Roman Empire after Rome and Alexandria. Antioch was of central importance in the spread of the Christian message to the Gentile world.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
