Acts 14:1

Paul and Barnabas at Iconium

14:1 The same thing happened in Iconium ¹¹  when Paul and Barnabas ¹²  went into the Jewish synagogue ¹³  and spoke in such a way that a large group ¹⁴  of both Jews and Greeks believed.

[1:15]  ¹ tn Grk “And in those days.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[1:15]  ² tn Or “brethren” (but the term includes both male and female believers present in this gathering, as indicated by those named in vv. 13-14).

[2:47]  ³ tn Or “the favor.”

[2:47]  ⁴ tn BDAG 437 s.v. ἡμέρα 2.c has “every day” for this phrase.

[4:26]  ⁵ tn Traditionally, “The kings of the earth took their stand.”

[4:26]  ⁶ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[4:26]  ⁷ sn A quotation from Ps 2:1-2.

[7:6]  ⁷ tn Grk “that his”; the discourse switches from indirect to direct with the following verbs. For consistency the entire quotation is treated as second person direct discourse in the translation.

[7:6]  ⁸ tn Or “will be strangers,” that is, one who lives as a noncitizen of a foreign country.

[7:6]  ⁹ sn A quotation from Gen 15:13. Exod 12:40 specifies the sojourn as 430 years.

[14:1]  ⁹ sn Iconium. See the note in 13:51.

[14:1]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “they”; the referents (Paul and Barnabas) have been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:1]  ¹¹ sn See the note on synagogue in 6:9.

[14:1]  ¹² tn Or “that a large crowd.”
