[1:26]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the continuity with the preceding verse. Greek style often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” but English style does not.

[1:26]  ² tn Grk “and the lot fell on Matthias.”

[1:26]  ³ tn Or “he was counted as one of the apostles along with the eleven.”

[2:43]  ⁴ tn Or “Fear.”

[2:43]  ⁵ tn Grk “on every soul” (here “soul” is an idiom for the whole person).

[2:43]  ⁶ tn In this context the miraculous nature of these signs is implied. Cf. BDAG 920 s.v. σημεῖον 2.a.

[4:35]  ⁷ tn Grk “It” (or “They,” plural). The referent of the understood pronoun subject, the proceeds from the sales, of the verb διεδίδετο (diedideto) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:37]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “selling a field that belonged to him, brought” The participle πωλήσας (pwlhsa") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[4:37]  ¹¹ tn Or “a farm.”

[4:37]  ¹² tn Normally a reference to actual coins (“currency”). See L&N 6.68.

[5:29]  ¹³ tn Grk “apostles answered and said.”

[5:29]  ¹⁴ sn Obey. See 4:19. This response has Jewish roots (Dan 3:16-18; 2 Macc 7:2; Josephus, Ant. 17.6.3 [17.159].

[5:29]  ¹⁵ tn Here ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") has been translated as a generic noun (“people”).

[14:14]  ¹⁶ sn The apostles Barnabas and Paul. This is one of only two places where Luke calls Paul an apostle, and the description here is shared with Barnabas. This is a nontechnical use here, referring to a commissioned messenger.

[14:14]  ¹⁷ tn The participle ἀκούσαντες (akousante") is taken temporally.

[14:14]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “tearing their clothes they rushed out.” The participle διαρρήξαντες (diarrhxante") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. This action is a Jewish response to blasphemy (m. Sanhedrin 7.5; Jdt 14:16-17).

[14:14]  ¹⁹ tn So BDAG 307 s.v. ἐκπηδάω 1, “rush (lit. ‘leap’) out…εἰς τὸν ὄχλον into the crowd Ac 14:14.”

[14:14]  ²⁰ tn Grk “shouting and saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes, in v. 15) has not been translated because it is redundant.
