7:1-53 Stephen responded to the accusations by testifying about his Lord (cp. Luke 21:12-17). Instead of defending himself against their prosecution, he became a witness in God’s prosecution of them, exposing their stubbornness and unfaithfulness to God. Stephen’s recital of Israel’s past reminded them of their repeated rejections of those whom God had sent.
• Stephen’s review of Israel’s history has three principal parts, dealing with the work of the patriarchs (Acts 7:2-16), the ministry of Moses (7:17-43), and the role of the Tabernacle and the Temple (7:44-50). Stephen followed up his historical survey with a clear attack on the hard-heartedness of his own people. With a prophetic challenge, he urged them to stop rebelling against the Holy Spirit and turn to God with repentance and faith.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
πληρωθέντων ἐτῶν τεσσεράκοντα
/having_been/_fulfilled years forty
This is an idiomatic way of speaking about time. Alternate translation: [after 40 years had gone by]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
πληρωθέντων ἐτῶν τεσσεράκοντα
/having_been/_fulfilled years forty
Since this is an idiom, it would probably not be meaningful in most languages to retain the verb “fill” and use an active verbal form instead of the passive form. However, if your language does speak of someone or something “filling” days or times so that they arrive, and if your language does not use passive verbal forms, you could use an active form of “fill” here.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ὤφθη αὐτῷ & ἄγγελος
/was/_seen ˱to˲_him & /an/_angel
The word appeared does not mean that Moses simply saw this angel in a vision. Rather, this expression indicates that the angel was actually present with Moses. Alternate translation: [suddenly an angel was there with Moses]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὤφθη αὐτῷ & ἄγγελος
/was/_seen ˱to˲_him & /an/_angel
Stephen assumes that his listeners know that God came to speak with Moses through the angel. The UST makes this explicit.
