54:13 All your children will be followers of the Lord,
and your children will enjoy great prosperity. 1
1 tn Heb “and great [will be] the peace of your sons.”
2 tn Grk “virgin.” While the term παρθένος (parqeno") can refer to a woman who has never had sexual relations, the emphasis in this context seems to be on the fact that Philip’s daughters were not married (L&N 9.39).
3 sn This is best taken as a parenthetical note by the author. Luke again noted women who were gifted in the early church (see Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History 3.31; 3.39).
4 tn See the note on the word “slave” in 1:10.
5 tn Grk “male and female.”
