Cross-Reference Analysis
Cross-Reference and Theme Analysis — Acts 1–28
Methodology Note
This document executes PRD Phase 1 Step 3. It surveys every chapter of Acts, first to last, for Old Testament quotations, Old Testament allusions, messianic references, typological patterns, and parallels to the baseline Romans Language Package — with special attention to passages where Acts and Romans quote or allude to the same Old Testament text, since those require identical Javanese rendering across both curricula. Chapters containing no direct OT quotation are explicitly reviewed and noted as such per the full-coverage mandate; several nonetheless carry load-bearing allusions or typological patterns worth flagging even without a formal quotation.
Citation Normalization Convention
All citations in this document and all downstream Phase 2 artifacts must use the form Book Chapter:Verse (or Book Chapter:Verse-Verse for ranges), using full English book names — e.g., Acts 2:21, Romans 10:13, Joel 2:32, Genesis 15:6, Psalm 16:10. This is the canonical form for cross-reference tables, translation memory entries, and segment metadata. Javanese-language citation display (e.g., Rum 3:23) is a presentation-layer convention governed by 12_ai_translation_requirements.md and does not replace this normalized internal citation key.
Risk Tiers
Translation Sensitivity ratings (Critical / High / Medium / Low) follow the same definitions used in the baseline doctrine_risk_registry.json. A rating here reflects the risk of the cross-reference connection itself being mistranslated, flattened, or mishandled — not merely the risk of the underlying term (which is already tiered in 07_semantic_analysis.md and 08_core_glossary.md).
Part A — Chapter-by-Chapter OT/NT Cross-Reference Matrix
Chapter 1 — Ascension, the Promise, Matthias Chosen
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acts 1:8 | Great Commission Fulfilled | Jesus, apostles | Programmatic NT statement echoing Isaiah 49:6 (“light to the Gentiles… salvation unto the end of the earth”) | Medium — “pungkasaning bumi” (uttermost part of the earth) must render identically at every echo (Acts 13:47; Acts 26:23; Acts 28 closing summary). |
| Acts 1:16-20 | Apostolic Authority | Judas, Peter | Psalm 69:25 and Psalm 109:8 quoted directly (“let his habitation be desolate… let another take his office”) | Low — historical/legal citation; ensure it is visually/typographically marked as direct quotation, distinct from narrative summary. |
| Acts 1:24-26 | Divine Calling / Election | Apostles, Matthias, Joseph called Barsabas | Allusion to 1 Samuel 16:7 (“the LORD… knoweth the hearts of all men”) | Medium — reinforces that the casting of lots (v. 26) is a means God sovereignly uses, not an appeal to impersonal fate (pesthi, forbidden per baseline election/providence rules). |
Chapter 2 — Pentecost (Core Passage)
Full verse-level doctrinal treatment is in 07_semantic_analysis.md. This table isolates the chapter’s direct OT citations for cross-reference purposes.
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acts 2:17-21 | The Holy Spirit and Pentecost | Peter, “all flesh” | Joel 2:28-32 quoted directly | Critical — Joel 2:32b is quoted again verbatim at Romans 10:13. Rendering must match exactly across both curricula; see Part C, Rule 1. |
| Acts 2:25-28 | Resurrection of Christ / Messianic Promise | David (typological voice), Christ | Psalm 16:8-11 quoted directly | Critical — resurrection proof-text; the same verse (Psalm 16:10) is quoted again at Acts 13:35. Must render identically within Acts itself. |
| Acts 2:30 | Davidic Covenant | David, Christ | Allusion to 2 Samuel 7:12-13; Psalm 132:11 | High — ties directly to the baseline’s seed_of_david → tedhak turune Dawud and davidic_covenant doctrine, reused from Romans 1:3. |
| Acts 2:34-35 | Lordship of Christ / Deity of Christ | David, Christ | Psalm 110:1 quoted directly | Critical — same “the LORD said unto my Lord” logic Paul presupposes at Romans 8:34 (“who is even at the right hand of God”). Both must use Gusti for the double-Kyrios reference without hedging. |
Chapter 3 — Peter Heals the Lame Man; Sermon at the Temple
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acts 3:13 | Messianic Promise | Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Christ | Allusion to Exodus 3:6, 15 (“the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob”) | Medium — covenant-historical, not ancestor-veneration; keep distinct from any devotional use of Javanese leluhur language. |
| Acts 3:22-23 | Fulfillment of Prophecy / Messianic Promise | Moses, Christ | Deuteronomy 18:15, 18-19 quoted directly | High — Moses-as-prophet typology fulfilled uniquely in Christ; must not be read through the Islamic prophetic-succession framework already flagged for nabi and Nabi Isa in the baseline. |
| Acts 3:25 | Gospel to Jews and Gentiles / Abrahamic Covenant | Abraham | Genesis 22:18; 12:3; 26:4 quoted/paraphrased (“in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed”) | High — direct forerunner of Paul’s Abraham-and-faith argument in Romans 4; earmark for future cross-curriculum harmonization with a Galatians package if developed. |
Chapter 4 — Peter and John Before the Council; Prayer for Boldness
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acts 4:11 | Apostolic Authority / Messianic Promise | Christ, builders/rulers | Psalm 118:22 quoted directly (“the stone which was set at nought… is become the head of the corner”) | High — a different OT “stone” text from the one Paul quotes in Romans 9:33 (Isaiah 8:14 / 28:16). Do not merge or interchange the two stone-texts’ renderings even though both serve Christological “rejected/foundation” typology. |
| Acts 4:24 | Providence / God as Creator | Believers at prayer | Allusion to Exodus 20:11; Psalm 146:6 | Low. |
| Acts 4:25-26 | Messianic Promise / Persecution and Bold Witness | Rulers, Christ | Psalm 2:1-2 quoted directly | High — establishes the pattern that persecution of the church is itself foretold rulers’-opposition-to-God’s-Anointed, not a sign of divine absence. |
| Acts 4:27-30 | Deity of Christ (Suffering Servant) | Jesus | Allusion to Isaiah 52:13-53:12 (“thy holy child/servant Jesus”) | High — “holy servant” language anticipates the direct Isaiah 53 quotation at Acts 8:32-33; must not be flattened to ordinary “child” or “boy.” |
Chapter 5 — Ananias and Sapphira; Apostolic Signs; Gamaliel
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acts 5:9 | Church as Community | Ananias, Sapphira, Peter | Typological echo of Joshua 7 (Achan, sin within the covenant community) | Medium — communal-integrity parallel; no direct quotation. |
| Acts 5:30 | Resurrection / Atonement | Jesus | Allusion to Deuteronomy 21:22-23 (“whom ye slew and hanged on a tree”) | High — echoed again at Acts 10:39. Romans does not use this exact “tree” idiom (Galatians 3:13 does, outside this curriculum); flag for future harmonization. |
Chapter 6 — Choosing of the Seven
No direct OT quotation. Reviewed explicitly. Background typological allusion: Numbers 27:18-23 (Joshua commissioned through Moses’ laying on of hands) informs the practice introduced at Acts 6:6. Low-Medium sensitivity; supports but does not require a separate glossary entry beyond the existing “Laying on of Hands” term.
Chapter 7 — Stephen’s Speech and Martyrdom
The densest OT-citation chapter in Acts.
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acts 7:2-8 | Abrahamic Covenant / Fulfillment of Prophecy | Abraham | Genesis 12:1, 7; 15:13-14; 17:8 | High — covenant-promise pattern paralleling Romans 4’s Abraham-faith argument. |
| Acts 7:9-16 | Typology of Christ | Joseph | Genesis 37; 39-46; 50 (narrative) | High — Joseph as a type of Christ: rejected by his own brothers, exalted, becomes the instrument of their deliverance. Flag explicitly for typological teaching notes. |
| Acts 7:17-34 | Typology of Christ / Fulfillment of Prophecy | Moses | Exodus 1:7-22; 2:1-15; 3:1-10 (burning bush; “I am the God of your fathers,” Exodus 3:6; “put off thy shoes… holy ground,” Exodus 3:5) | High — Moses as a type of Christ: a deliverer first rejected, later vindicated. |
| Acts 7:37 | Fulfillment of Prophecy | Moses, Christ | Deuteronomy 18:15 quoted again (cf. Acts 3:22) | High — must render identically to the 3:22 occurrence. |
| Acts 7:39-41 | Universal Human Accountability | Israel in the wilderness | Exodus 32:1, 4, 23 (golden calf) quoted/paraphrased | High — idolatry narrative; render “brahala” consistently with the term’s ch.17 treatment. |
| Acts 7:42-43 | Universal Human Accountability | Israel | Amos 5:25-27 quoted directly | High — judgment-for-idolatry text; conceptually parallel to Romans 1:23,25 (exchanging God’s glory for images), though not a shared quotation. |
| Acts 7:48-50 | God’s Transcendence | Israel, Solomon | Isaiah 66:1-2 quoted directly | Medium — echoed again in Paul’s Areopagus speech (Acts 17:24-25); render “kaallahan”/transcendence language consistently between the two passages. |
| Acts 7:51 | Persecution and Bold Witness | Israel’s leaders, Stephen | Allusion to Exodus 33:3; Deuteronomy 9:6; Jeremiah 9:26 (“stiffnecked”) | Medium. |
| Acts 7:52 | Persecution and Bold Witness | The prophets, Stephen | Pattern-allusion to 1 Kings 19:10; 2 Chronicles 36:16 (killing of the prophets) | High — Stephen’s own martyrdom is framed as continuing this OT pattern, directly relevant to the Persecution and Bold Witness doctrine. |
| Acts 7:56 | Deity/Sonship of Christ | Stephen, “Son of Man” | Allusion to Daniel 7:13-14 | Critical — see baseline glossary term “Son of Man → Putraning Manungsa,” distinct from “Son of God → Putrané Gusti Allah.” |
Chapter 8 — Philip in Samaria; Simon Magus; the Ethiopian Eunuch
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acts 8:32-33 | Messianic Promise / Gospel to Jews and Gentiles | The Ethiopian eunuch, Philip, Christ | Isaiah 53:7-8 quoted directly | Critical — the central Suffering Servant text, given to a ritually marginal, non-Israelite figure. Must be rendered with full theological weight (vicarious, silent, unjust suffering fulfilled in Christ), not softened into generic hero-suffering language. Thematically parallel (not a shared direct quotation) to Romans 4:25’s “delivered for our offences” (Isaiah 53:5-6 background). |
Chapter 9 — Conversion of Saul
No direct OT quotation. Reviewed explicitly. Background allusion: the commissioning pattern echoes prophetic call-narratives (Isaiah 6:1-8; Jeremiah 1:4-10; Ezekiel 1-2) later made explicit at Acts 26:16-18. Acts 9:18 (“scales fell from his eyes”) anticipates the healed-blindness imagery of Isaiah 42:7, developed fully at Acts 26:18. Medium sensitivity for teaching continuity across the three Pauline-conversion retellings (chs. 9, 22, 26).
Chapter 10 — Peter and Cornelius
No direct OT quotation. Reviewed explicitly. Peter’s vision (10:9-16) sets aside the Levitical clean/unclean food distinctions (Leviticus 11; Deuteronomy 14) typologically without quoting them. The Spirit’s outpouring on Gentiles (10:44-46) explicitly echoes the Joel-fulfillment pattern of Acts 2:17-18 — render identically. High sensitivity for the doctrine of Gospel to Jews and Gentiles, since this chapter is its narrative hinge.
Chapter 11 — Peter’s Report; the Church at Antioch
No new OT citation. Reviewed explicitly. Reaffirms the Joel/Pentecost pattern (11:15-17), requiring the same consistent rendering already established at 2:17-18 and 10:44-46.
Chapter 12 — Herod’s Persecution; Peter’s Escape
No direct OT quotation. Reviewed explicitly. Herod’s death (12:23) carries a judgment-on-pride typological echo of Daniel 4:28-33 and Daniel 5:20 (a proud king struck down). Translation sensitivity: High — this pattern parallels the Javanese court-literature motif of a ruler losing his wahyu (the mandate-light legitimizing rule) through hubris. This is a useful teaching bridge but requires careful framing: Herod’s fall must be presented as God’s own direct moral judgment, not as the impersonal forfeiture of a transferable mandate — reinforcing rather than undermining the baseline’s rejection of wahyu-language for God’s dealings with rulers.
Chapter 13 — Antioch Synagogue Sermon; Elymas; Paul and Barnabas Sent Out
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acts 13:33 | Sonship of Christ | Paul, Christ | Psalm 2:7 quoted directly (“Thou art my Son”) | Critical. |
| Acts 13:34 | Davidic Covenant / Resurrection | David, Christ | Isaiah 55:3 quoted directly (“the sure mercies of David”) | High. |
| Acts 13:35 | Resurrection of Christ | David, Christ | Psalm 16:10 quoted directly (reuse of Acts 2:27) | Critical — must render identically to the Acts 2:27 occurrence. |
| Acts 13:38-39 | Justification apart from the Law | Paul | Direct doctrinal statement (no OT quotation) paralleling Romans 3:20-28 | Critical — see Part C, Rule 10. |
| Acts 13:41 | Persecution and Bold Witness / Universal Human Accountability | Paul, unbelieving Jews | Habakkuk 1:5 quoted directly | Medium. |
| Acts 13:47 | Great Commission Fulfilled | Paul, Barnabas | Isaiah 49:6 quoted directly (“a light to the Gentiles”) | High — render “pungkasaning bumi”/light-to-Gentiles language identically to Acts 1:8 and 26:23. |
Chapter 14 — Lystra: Healing and Mistaken Identity
No direct OT quotation. Reviewed explicitly. The crowd’s mistaken identification of Paul and Barnabas as Zeus and Hermes (14:11-13) draws on Greco-Roman, not OT, mythology; already flagged in 07_semantic_analysis.md for deification-avoidance teaching.
Chapter 15 — The Jerusalem Council
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acts 15:16-18 | Gospel to Jews and Gentiles / Great Commission Fulfilled | James, Gentile believers | Amos 9:11-12 quoted directly | Critical — the Council’s authorizing proof-text for Gentile inclusion. Thematically parallel (not a shared direct quotation) to Romans 11:25-27 (the mystery of Israel’s restoration) and the Romans 15:9-12 OT catena on Gentile inclusion. Render “bangsa liya” (Gentiles) consistently with baseline usage. |
Chapter 16 — Lydia; the Philippian Jailer; the Divination Spirit
No direct OT quotation. Reviewed explicitly. The divination-spirit narrative (16:16-18) echoes the prohibition of divination in Deuteronomy 18:10-14 without quoting it; this background law strengthens the doctrinal case against reading the “spirit of divination” as a legitimate parallel power to Roh Suci.
Chapter 17 — Athens: the Areopagus Speech
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acts 17:24-25 | God’s Transcendence | Paul, Athenian philosophers | Allusion to 1 Kings 8:27; Isaiah 66:1-2 (reuse of Acts 7:48-50) | Medium — render consistently with the ch. 7 occurrence. |
| Acts 17:26 | Providence / Unity of Jews and Gentiles | All nations | Allusion to Deuteronomy 32:8; Genesis 1:27-28 | Medium. |
| Acts 17:28 | Apologetic Method (not a doctrine category, but load-bearing for teaching) | Paul, Greek poets (Epimenides; Aratus/Cleanthes) | Non-OT — quotation of pagan Greek poetry (“in him we live, and move… we are his offspring”) | High — Paul’s use of a partial-truth pagan source as a rhetorical bridge is a valuable model for engaging kejawen religious sensibility respectfully, but teaching materials must make unmistakably clear this is a rhetorical bridge toward the exclusive, personal Gusti Allah, not an endorsement of the poets’ theology or of Javanese cosmological concepts as independently salvific truth. |
Chapter 18 — Corinth; Gallio’s Judgment
No direct OT quotation. Reviewed explicitly. No new cross-reference material beyond terms already established.
Chapter 19 — Ephesus: Baptism, the Word’s Growth, the Riot
No direct OT quotation. Reviewed explicitly.
Chapter 20 — The Miletus Address
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acts 20:26-27 | Persecution and Bold Witness / Apostolic Authority | Paul, Ephesian elders | Allusion to Ezekiel 3:18-21; 33:6-9 (the watchman motif; “pure from the blood of all men”) | High — must be rendered as prophetic-watchman faithfulness to proclaim the whole counsel of God, not as mere legal self-exoneration. |
| Acts 20:35 | Mutual Edification | Paul, Ephesian elders | An otherwise-unrecorded saying attributed to Jesus (“It is more blessed to give than to receive”) — NT-internal, not an OT citation | Low — unique in Acts; note its extra-Gospel attribution for teaching accuracy. |
Chapter 21 — Paul’s Arrest in Jerusalem
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acts 21:23-26 | Church as Community (ritual practice) | Paul, four men under a vow | Background law: Numbers 6:1-21 (the Nazirite vow) | Medium — distinguish from Javanese nadar (personal vow-making) custom. |
| Acts 21:10-11 | Fulfillment of Prophecy | Agabus, Paul | Pattern-allusion to acted-sign prophecy (Isaiah 20:2-4; Jeremiah 13:1-11; Ezekiel 4:1-3) | Medium. |
Chapter 22 — Paul’s Defense Before the Jerusalem Crowd
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acts 22:14 | Conversion of Paul | Ananias, Paul | Allusion to Exodus 3:15-16 (“the God of our fathers”) | High — see baseline caution: this phrase must never drift toward ancestor-veneration devotion; keep sharply distinct from the forbidden Leluhur-for-Rama substitution. |
| Acts 22:17-21 | Conversion of Paul / Great Commission Fulfilled | Paul, Christ | Allusion to Jeremiah 1:5, 7-8; Isaiah 6:8-9 (prophetic commissioning formula) | High. |
Chapter 23 — Paul Before the Sanhedrin
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acts 23:5 | Persecution and Bold Witness | Paul, the high priest | Exodus 22:28 quoted directly (“Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people”) | Medium — direct thematic parallel to Romans 13:1-7 (submission to governing authorities); Paul’s self-correction models respectful bold witness rather than reflexive defiance of authority. |
Chapter 24 — Paul Before Felix
No direct OT quotation. Reviewed explicitly. Acts 24:15 (“hope… that there shall be a resurrection of the dead”) echoes Daniel 12:2 without quoting it.
Chapter 25 — Paul Before Festus; Appeal to Caesar
No direct OT quotation. Reviewed explicitly. Procedural/legal chapter with no new theological cross-reference material.
Chapter 26 — Paul Before Agrippa
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acts 26:16-18 | Great Commission Fulfilled / Conversion of Paul | Christ, Paul | Allusion to Jeremiah 1:7-8; Ezekiel 2:1, 3; Isaiah 42:6-7 (“to open their eyes… turn them from darkness to light”) | High — Servant-of-the-Lord commissioning language applied directly to Paul’s mission; must retain the sense of a personal, specific divine commission, not generic inspirational language. |
| Acts 26:23 | Messianic Promise / Resurrection / Great Commission Fulfilled | Christ | Allusion to Isaiah 42:6; 49:6 (reuse of the “light to the Gentiles” theme from Acts 13:47) | Critical — render consistently with the Acts 1:8 and 13:47 occurrences. |
Chapter 27 — The Voyage and Shipwreck
No direct OT quotation. Reviewed explicitly. The storm-and-deliverance narrative shares literary/typological resonance with Jonah 1 (a storm at sea, pagan sailors, and divine deliverance through God’s chosen servant) — a useful teaching parallel, not a doctrinal-risk item requiring glossary treatment. The angel’s reassurance (27:23-24) reuses the established providence vocabulary from Acts 2:23 and 4:28.
Chapter 28 — Malta; Arrival in Rome; the Gospel Unhindered
| Passage | Theme | Related Character | OT/NT Connection | Translation Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acts 28:26-27 | Universal Human Accountability / Fulfillment of Prophecy | Paul, unbelieving Jewish leaders in Rome | Isaiah 6:9-10 quoted directly | Critical — this hardening-of-heart text is foundational also to Romans 11:8-10, which quotes a different hardening catena (Deuteronomy 29:4; Isaiah 29:10; Psalm 69:22-23) toward the same theological point (Israel’s partial, purposive, non-final hardening). Teaching materials must connect the two passages’ shared doctrine without merging or interchanging their distinct citations. |
| Acts 28:3-6 | Apostolic Authority and Miracles / Providence | Paul, Maltese islanders | Possible allusion to Genesis 3:15 (serpent-crushing) and Luke 10:19 (NT-internal) | High — given the prominence of snake-associated spiritual imagery in Javanese folk cosmology (e.g., guardian-serpent/naga belief, Nyai Roro Kidul mythology), this episode requires careful framing as God’s specific providential protection of Paul’s apostolic mission, never as a transferable demonstration of protective potency (kasekten) over spirits or snakes. |
| Acts 28:31 | Great Commission Fulfilled | Paul | Closing summary; no direct OT quotation | Low — thematic capstone; render “tanpa pambendung” consistently as established in the core glossary. |
Part B — Messianic References and Typology Summary
| Type/Figure | OT Basis | Fulfillment in Acts | Doctrine Connection |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moses as prophet-type | Deuteronomy 18:15, 18-19 | Acts 3:22-23; 7:37 | Fulfillment of Prophecy; Messianic Promise |
| David as king/psalmist-type | 2 Samuel 7:12-13; Psalm 16; Psalm 110; Psalm 2 | Acts 2:25-36; 13:33-37 | Davidic Covenant; Resurrection of Christ; Lordship of Christ |
| Joseph as rejected-then-exalted-savior type | Genesis 37-50 | Acts 7:9-16 | Messianic Promise (typological); Persecution and Bold Witness |
| The Suffering Servant | Isaiah 52:13-53:12 | Acts 4:27-30 (allusion); Acts 8:32-33 (direct quotation) | Messianic Promise; Gospel to Jews and Gentiles |
| The rejected stone / cornerstone | Psalm 118:22 | Acts 4:11 | Apostolic Authority; Messianic Promise |
| Son of Man (enthroned/judging figure) | Daniel 7:13-14 | Acts 7:56 | Deity of Christ; Sonship of Christ (kept distinct from “Son of God”) |
| The Prophet-Servant commissioning pattern | Isaiah 42:6-7; Jeremiah 1:4-10; Ezekiel 2 | Acts 9 (implicit); Acts 22:17-21; Acts 26:16-18 | Conversion of Paul; Great Commission Fulfilled |
| The Exodus-deliverance pattern | Exodus 1-15 | Acts 7:17-36 (Moses narrative) | Fulfillment of Prophecy; Salvation |
| Light to the nations | Isaiah 42:6; 49:6 | Acts 1:8; 13:47; 26:23 | Great Commission Fulfilled |
Part C — Cross-Curriculum Parallels with Romans: Shared Quotations and Rendering-Consistency Rules
The following rules govern any Phase 2 segment in either the Acts or Romans curriculum where the underlying source text quotes or closely echoes the same Old Testament passage. Rendering must be identical wherever the same OT text is quoted, even across curricula, so that a learner moving between materials recognizes the same Scripture being cited.
| # | Rule | Shared Citation | Occurrences | Required Consistency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Joel 2:32b confession clause | Joel 2:32 | Acts 2:21; Romans 10:13 | Render identically: the confession clause built on Gusti (“…nyebut asmanipun Gusti…”) plus kaslametan with the standard Critical-risk translator note (distinguishing Christ’s rescue from the slametan ritual) attached at both occurrences. |
| 2 | Psalm 110:1 double-Kyrios text | Psalm 110:1 | Acts 2:34-35; Romans 8:34 (allusion, “at the right hand of God”) | Both must use Gusti for the double Lord-reference without hedging; Acts 2:34-35 is the direct quotation and takes rendering priority, with Romans 8:34’s allusion matching its theological logic. |
| 3 | Genesis 15:6 / Abrahamic faith-righteousness | Genesis 15:6 | Romans 4:3 (direct quotation); Acts 3:25; 7:2-8 (Abrahamic covenant narrative, no direct quotation of Gen 15:6 but same covenant referenced) | Keep Abraham, prajanjian (covenant), and pitados (faith) vocabulary consistent between the Romans 4 argument and the Acts 3/7 narrative references. |
| 4 | Habakkuk 2:4 / righteousness by faith apart from law | Habakkuk 2:4 | Romans 1:17; 3:20 (quotation/argument); Acts 13:38-39 (parallel doctrinal argument, no direct quotation) | Cross-reference explicitly in teaching notes as the same Pauline doctrine — Justification apart from the Law — in epistolary (Romans) vs. narrative-sermon (Acts) form. Use kaanggep bener dening Gusti Allah and angger-anggering Toret identically in both. |
| 5 | Isaiah 53 Suffering Servant | Isaiah 53:5-8 | Acts 8:32-33 (direct quotation); Romans 4:25; 5:6-8 (thematic allusion, no direct quotation) | The Acts occurrence is the anchor direct quotation; Romans’ allusive references must not contradict or soften the vicarious-suffering sense established there. |
| 6 | Gentile inclusion foretold | Amos 9:11-12; Isaiah 49:6; Deuteronomy 32:21; Isaiah 65:1-2 | Acts 15:16-18; 13:47; 26:23 // Romans 10:19-21; 15:9-12 | Different specific OT texts serving the same theological point across the two curricula. Do not interchange the citations, but render bangsa liya (Gentiles) and the “no distinction” universality language identically wherever it appears. |
| 7 | Hardening of Israel | Isaiah 6:9-10 | Acts 28:26-27 // Romans 11:8-10 (Deuteronomy 29:4; Isaiah 29:10; Psalm 69:22-23) | Different specific OT texts, same doctrine (partial, purposive, non-final hardening — never total or final rejection of Israel). Teaching notes must connect the doctrine across curricula without merging the distinct citations. |
| 8 | Seed of David | 2 Samuel 7:12-13 (background) | Acts 2:30; 13:22-23, 34 // Romans 1:3 | Render tedhak turune Dawud identically in every occurrence, per the baseline’s existing exact-reuse rule. |
| 9 | Psalm 2 — the Lord’s Anointed opposed | Psalm 2:1-2, 7 | Acts 4:25-26; 13:33 | Not directly quoted in Romans, but shares the “declared/installed Son with power” theological logic of Romans 1:4. Keep terminology for divine Sonship/installation (Putrané Gusti Allah, kaunggahaken) consistent with baseline usage. |
| 10 | Justification apart from the Law (doctrinal argument, no shared single quotation) | — | Acts 13:38-39 // Romans 3:20-28 | Cross-reference explicitly in Phase 2 teaching notes as the same core Pauline argument delivered in two literary forms; use identical glossary terms (kaanggep bener dening Gusti Allah, angger-anggering Toret, kabeneran). |
Part D — Translation Sensitivity Flags Summary (Javanese-Specific)
The following cross-reference points carry elevated Javanese-specific cultural collision risk and require deliberate handling in Phase 2 teaching notes, beyond the term-level flags already documented in 07_semantic_analysis.md and 08_core_glossary.md:
- Acts 12:23 (Herod’s death) — parallels the Javanese wahyu-forfeiture motif (a ruler losing the mandate of heaven); frame as direct divine moral judgment, not impersonal mandate-transfer.
- Acts 17:28 (quotation of pagan poets) — Paul’s bridge-building apologetic method; frame as a rhetorical bridge toward exclusive truth in Gusti Allah, not an endorsement of the source religious system, to avoid appearing to validate kejawen cosmology on its own terms.
- Acts 28:3-6 (Malta viper) — given the prominence of serpent/naga guardian-spirit imagery in Javanese folk cosmology, frame strictly as specific providential protection of Paul’s mission, never as transferable protective potency (kasekten).
- Acts 7:39-43 (golden calf; Amos judgment oracle) and Acts 17:16 (Athens idols) — consistent use of brahala for idol/image-worship critique; teaching notes should avoid unnecessary direct comparison to specific Javanese heritage objects (keris, punden markers) unless pastorally warranted.
- Acts 15:16-18 and Acts 28:26-27 (Gentile inclusion / Israel’s hardening) — both require careful framing that Israel’s partial hardening is purposive and not final, avoiding any triumphalist or dismissive framing that could read as supersessionist in a way the text itself does not support.
This document must be loaded alongside analysis/07_semantic_analysis.md, analysis/08_core_glossary.md, and the baseline translation_memory.json / bible_term_registry.json before Phase 1 Step 4 and any subsequent Phase 2 translation work on Acts begins.
