NET Notes: Act 3:12

¹ tn Or perhaps “People of Israel,” since this was taking place in Solomon’s Portico and women may have been present. The Greek ἄνδρες ᾿Ισραηλῖται (andre" Israhlitai) used in the plural would normally mean “men, gentlemen” (BDAG 79 s.v. ἀνήρ 1.a).

² tn Grk “or why.”

³ tn Grk “him”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
