¹ tn Grk “the works.”

² tn Grk “What must we do to work the works of God?”

³ tn The word “this” is not in the Greek text. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.

⁴ tn Grk “they were pierced to the heart” (an idiom for acute emotional distress).

⁵ tn Or “But arise.”

⁶ tn Literally a passive construction, “it will be told to you.” This has been converted to another form of passive construction in the translation.

⁷ tn Grk “And bringing them outside, he asked.” The participle προαγαγών (proagagwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. Because of the length of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun by supplying the conjunction “then” to indicate the logical sequence.

⁸ tn The Greek term (δεῖ, dei) is used by Luke to represent divine necessity.

⁹ tn Grk “they have a zeal for God.”

¹⁰ tn Grk “in accord with knowledge.”
