Acts 10:21-22

Context
10:21 So Peter went down 1  to the men and said, “Here I am, 2  the person you’re looking for. Why have you come?” 10:22 They said, “Cornelius the centurion, 3  a righteous 4  and God-fearing man, well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, 5  was directed by a holy angel to summon you to his house and to hear a message 6  from you.”

[10:21]  1 tn Grk “Peter going down to the men, said.” The participle καταβάς (katabas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[10:21]  2 tn Grk “Behold, it is I whom you seek,” or “Behold, I am the one you seek.” “Here I am” is used to translate ἰδοὺ ἐγώ εἰμι (idou egw eimi).

[10:22]  3 sn See the note on the word centurion in 10:1.

[10:22]  4 tn Or “just.”

[10:22]  5 tn The phrase τοῦ ἔθνους τῶν ᾿Ιουδαίων (tou eqnou" twn Ioudaiwn) is virtually a technical term for the Jewish nation (1 Macc 10:25; 11:30, 33; Josephus, Ant. 14.10.22 [14.248]). “All the Jewish people,” while another possible translation of the Greek phrase, does not convey the technical sense of a reference to the nation in English.

[10:22]  6 tn Grk “hear words.”
