[1:25]  ¹ tn Grk “to take the place.”

[1:25]  ² tn Or “of this ministry.”

[1:25]  ³ tn Or “the task of this service and apostleship which Judas ceased to perform.”

[1:25]  ⁴ sn To go to his own place. This may well be a euphemism for Judas’ judged fate. He separated himself from them, and thus separated he would remain.

[16:7]  ⁵ tn BDAG 511 s.v. κατά B.1.b has “to Mysia” here.

[16:7]  ⁶ sn Mysia was a province in northwest Asia Minor.

[16:7]  ⁷ sn Bithynia was a province in northern Asia Minor northeast of Mysia.

[16:7]  ⁸ tn Or “permit”; see BDAG 269 s.v. ἐάω 1.

[16:7]  ⁹ tn The words “do this” are not in the Greek text, but are supplied for stylistic reasons, since English handles ellipses differently than Greek.
