TSNTyndale Study Notes:

3:1-11 Jesus’ promise that his disciples would do even greater works than he had done (John 14:12; see Mark 16:20) was fulfilled in the signs, wonders, and mighty works of the apostles (Acts 2:43; 5:12; 8:4-8). Here, Peter clearly exercised the power to heal in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene (3:6, 16). The cure was instant and undeniable (3:8), resulting in the man’s praising God (3:8-9; cp. 2:47; 16:25; Luke 2:20; 17:15-18; 18:43; 19:37; 24:53). This is the first of many demonstrations of divine power given to disciples in Acts (Acts 4:24-31; 5:12; 6:8; 8:6; 9:33-42; 28:8).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καί τις ἀνὴρ, χωλὸς ἐκ κοιλίας μητρὸς αὐτοῦ ὑπάρχων, ἐβαστάζετο, ὃν ἐτίθουν καθ’ ἡμέραν πρὸς τὴν θύραν τοῦ ἱεροῦ

and /a/_certain man lame from /the/_womb ˱of˲_/the/_mother ˱of˲_him being /was_being/_borne whom ˱they˲_/were/_putting in_every day at the door ˱of˲_the temple

If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an active verbal form instead of the passive form was being carried. Alternate translation: “And there was a certain man who had been lame since birth whom people would carry to the temple every day and place at the gate”

Note 2 topic: writing-background

καί τις ἀνὴρ

and /a/_certain man

In this verse, Luke provides background information about this man to help readers understand what happens next in the story. In your translation, present this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐκ κοιλίας μητρὸς αὐτοῦ

from /the/_womb ˱of˲_/the/_mother ˱of˲_him

Luke is describing the time of the lame man’s birth by association with the way he came from the womb of his mother when he was born. Alternate translation: “since birth” or “since he was born”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τὴν λεγομένην

the ¬which /being/_called

If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. Alternate translation: “that people call” or “whose name is”

Note 5 topic: translate-names

Ὡραίαν

Beautiful

Beautiful is the name of one of the gates of the Jerusalem temple.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

εἰς τὸ ἱερόν

into the temple

Only priests were allowed inside the temple building, so when Luke says the temple here, he means the courtyard associated with the temple. Alternate translation: “into the temple courtyard”
