Acts 4:9

4:9 if ¹  we are being examined ²  today for a good deed ³  done to a sick man – by what means this man was healed ⁴  –

Acts 9:43

9:43 So ⁵  Peter ⁶  stayed many days in Joppa with a man named ⁷  Simon, a tanner. ⁸ 

Acts 10:6

10:6 This man is staying as a guest with a man named Simon, a tanner, ⁹  whose house is by the sea.”

Acts 10:29

10:29 Therefore when you sent for me, ¹⁰  I came without any objection. Now may I ask why ¹¹  you sent for me?”

Acts 5:15

5:15 Thus ¹²  they even carried the sick out into the streets, and put them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow would fall on some of them.

Acts 21:16

21:16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea ¹³  came along with us too, and brought us to the house ¹⁴  of Mnason of Cyprus, a disciple from the earliest times, ¹⁵  with whom we were to stay.

¹ tn This clause is a first class condition. It assumes for the sake of argument that this is what they were being questioned about.

² tn Or “questioned.” The Greek term ἀνακρίνω (anakrinw) points to an examination similar to a legal one.

³ tn Or “for an act of kindness.”

⁴ tn Or “delivered” (σέσωται [seswtai], from σώζω [swzw]). See 4:12.

⁵ tn Grk “So it happened that.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁷ tn Grk “with a certain Simon.”

⁸ tn Or “with a certain Simon Berseus.” Although most modern English translations treat βυρσεῖ (bursei) as Simon’s profession (“Simon the tanner”), it is possible that the word is actually Simon’s surname (“Simon Berseus” or “Simon Tanner”). BDAG 185 s.v. βυρσεύς regards it as a surname. See also MM 118.

⁹ tn Or “with a certain Simon Berseus.” Although most modern English translations treat βυρσεῖ (bursei) as Simon’s profession (“Simon the tanner”), it is possible that the word is actually Simon’s surname (“Simon Berseus” or “Simon Tanner”). BDAG 185 s.v. βυρσεύς regards it as a surname. See also MM 118.

¹³ tn Grk “Therefore when I was sent for.” The passive participle μεταπεμφθείς (metapemfqei") has been taken temporally and converted to an active construction which is less awkward in English.

¹⁴ tn Grk “ask for what reason.”

¹⁷ tn This is a continuation of the preceding sentence in Greek, but because this would produce an awkward sentence in English, a new sentence was begun here in the translation.

²¹ sn Caesarea was a city on the coast of Palestine south of Mount Carmel (not Caesarea Philippi). See the note on Caesarea in Acts 10:1.

²² tn Grk “to Mnason…”; the words “the house of” are not in the Greek text, but are implied by the verb ξενισθῶμεν (xenisqwmen).

²³ tn Or perhaps, “Mnason of Cyprus, one of the original disciples.” BDAG 137 s.v. ἀρχαῖος 1 has “ἀ. μαθητής a disciple of long standing (perh. original disc.) Ac 21:16.”
