Acts 11:29

11:29 So the disciples, each in accordance with his financial ability, ³  decided ⁴  to send relief ⁵  to the brothers living in Judea.

Acts 15:23

15:23 They sent this letter with them: ⁶ 

From the apostles ⁷  and elders, your brothers, ⁸  to the Gentile brothers and sisters ⁹  in Antioch, ¹⁰  Syria, ¹¹  and Cilicia, greetings!

[1:14]  ¹ sn Jesus’ brothers are mentioned in Matt 13:55 and John 7:3.

[7:13]  ² tn BDAG 194 s.v. γένος 2. gives “family, relatives” here; another alternative is “race” (see v. 19).

[11:29]  ³ tn So BDAG 410 s.v. εὐπορέω.

[11:29]  ⁴ tn Or “determined,” “resolved.”

[11:29]  ⁵ tn Grk “to send [something] for a ministry,” but today it is common to speak of sending relief for victims of natural disasters.

[15:23]  ⁴ tn Grk “writing by their hand” (an idiom for sending a letter).

[15:23]  ⁵ tn Grk “The apostles.” The word “from” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the sender of the letter.

[15:23]  ⁶ tn Grk “brothers,” but “your” is supplied to specify the relationship, since without it “brothers” could be understood as vocative in English.

[15:23]  ⁷ tn Grk “to the brothers who are from the Gentiles.”

[15:23]  ⁸ sn Antioch was a city in Syria (not Antioch in Pisidia).

[15:23]  ⁹ tn Grk “and Syria,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
