| NET Notes |
1 tn Grk “And now.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here. 2 tn Grk “upon,” but in a negative sense. 3 sn The term translated mistiness here appears in the writings of the physician Galen as a medical technical description of a person who is blind. The picture of judgment to darkness is symbolic as well. Whatever power Elymas had, it represented darkness. Magic will again be an issue in Acts 19:18-19. This judgment is like that of Ananias and his wife in Acts 5:1-11. 4 tn Grk “fell on.” 5 tn The noun χειραγωγός (ceiragwgo") is plural, so “people” is used rather than singular “someone.” |
