2:28 You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will make me full of joy with your presence.’ 1
1 sn A quotation from Ps 16:8-11.
2 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the jailer) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Or “and prostrated himself.”
3 tn BDAG 826 s.v. πλήν 1.d has “πλὴν ὅτι except that…Ac 20:23.”
4 tn The verb διαμαρτύρομαι (diamarturomai) can mean “warn” (BDAG 233 s.v. διαμαρτύρομαι 2 has “solemnly urge, exhort, warn…w. dat. of pers. addressed”), and this meaning better fits the context here, although BDAG categorizes Acts 20:23 under the meaning “testify of, bear witness to” (s.v. 1).
5 tn The Greek text here reads κατὰ πόλιν (kata polin).
6 tn Grk “saying that,” but the participle λέγον (legon) is redundant in English and has not been translated.
7 tn Grk “bonds.”
8 tn Or “troubles,” “suffering.” See Acts 19:21; 21:4, 11.
