[16:14]  1 sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.

[16:14]  2 tn Heb “and they burned for him a large fire, very great.”

[2:29]  3 tn Since this represents a continuation of the address beginning in v.14 and continued in v. 22, “brothers” has been used here rather than a generic expression like “brothers and sisters.”

[2:29]  4 sn Peter’s certainty is based on well-known facts.
