Acts 1:23

1:23 So they ¹  proposed two candidates: ²  Joseph called Barsabbas (also called Justus) and Matthias.

Acts 2:21

2:21 And then ³  everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ ⁴ 

Acts 10:18

10:18 They ⁵  called out to ask if Simon, known as Peter, ⁶  was staying there as a guest.

[1:23]  ¹ tc Codex Bezae (D) and other Western witnesses have “he proposed,” referring to Peter, thus emphasizing his role above the other apostles. The Western text displays a conscious pattern of elevating Peter in Acts, and thus the singular verb here is a palpably motivated reading.

[1:23]  ² tn Grk “So they proposed two.” The word “candidates” was supplied in the text for clarity.

[2:21]  ³ tn Grk “And it will be that.”

[2:21]  ⁴ sn A quotation from Joel 2:28-32.

[10:18]  ⁵ tn Grk “and.” 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 pronoun “they” as the subject of the following verb.

[10:18]  ⁶ tn Grk “Simon, the one called Peter.” This qualification was necessary because the owner of the house was also named Simon (Acts 9:43).
