[2:4]  ¹ tn Grk “who wants…” (but showing why such prayer is pleasing to God).

[2:4]  ² tn Grk “all men”; but here ἀνθρώπους (anqrwpous) is used generically, referring to both men and women.

[17:30]  ³ tn Or “has deliberately paid no attention to.”

[17:30]  ⁴ tn Or “times when people did not know.”

[17:30]  ⁵ tn Here ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") has been translated as a generic noun (“people”).

[17:30]  ⁶ sn He now commands all people everywhere to repent. God was now asking all mankind to turn to him. No nation or race was excluded.

[17:1]  ⁵ tn BDAG 250 s.v. διοδεύω 1 has “go, travel through” for this verse.

[17:1]  ⁶ sn Amphipolis. The capital city of the southeastern district of Macedonia (BDAG 55 s.v. ᾿Αμφίπολις). It was a military post. From Philippi this was about 33 mi (53 km).

[17:1]  ⁷ sn Apollonia was a city in Macedonia about 27 mi (43 km) west southwest of Amphipolis.

[17:1]  ⁸ sn Thessalonica (modern Salonica) was a city in Macedonia about 33 mi (53 km) west of Apollonia. It was the capital of Macedonia. The road they traveled over was called the Via Egnatia. It is likely they rode horses, given their condition in Philippi. The implication of v. 1 is that the two previously mentioned cities lacked a synagogue.

[17:1]  ⁹ sn See the note on synagogue in 6:9.

[3:12]  ⁷ 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).

[3:12]  ⁸ tn Grk “or why.”

[3:12]  ⁹ tn Grk “him”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:2]  ⁹ tn Or “crippled.”

[3:2]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “from his mother’s womb.”

[3:2]  ¹¹ tn BDAG 437 s.v. ἡμέρα 2.c has “every day” for this phrase.

[3:2]  ¹² tn Grk “alms.” The term “alms” is not in common use today, so what the man expected, “money,” is used in the translation instead. The idea is that of money given as a gift to someone who was poor. Giving alms was viewed as honorable in Judaism (Tob 1:3, 16; 12:8-9; m. Pe’ah 1:1). See also Luke 11:41; 12:33; Acts 9:36; 10:2, 4, 31; 24:17.

[3:2]  ¹³ tn Grk “the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.

[2:24]  ¹¹ tn Grk “Whom God raised up.”

[2:24]  ¹² tn Or “having freed.”

[2:24]  ¹³ sn The term translated pains is frequently used to describe pains associated with giving birth (see Rev 12:2). So there is irony here in the mixed metaphor.

[2:24]  ¹⁴ tn Or “for him to be held by it” (in either case, “it” refers to death’s power).

[2:11]  ¹³ tn Grk “all men”; but ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpois) is generic here, referring to both men and women.

[3:2]  ¹⁵ tn Or “discredit,” “damage the reputation of.”
