Acts 10:37

10:37 you know what happened throughout Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John announced: ¹ 

Acts 13:31

13:31 and ²  for many days he appeared to those who had accompanied ³  him from Galilee to Jerusalem. These ⁴  are now his witnesses to the people.

Acts 1:11

1:11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand here ⁵  looking up into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven ⁶  will come back in the same way you saw him go into heaven.”

Acts 9:31

9:31 Then ⁷  the church throughout Judea, Galilee, ⁸  and Samaria experienced ⁹  peace and thus was strengthened. ¹⁰  Living ¹¹  in the fear of the Lord and in the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, the church ¹²  increased in numbers.

Acts 5:37

5:37 After him Judas the Galilean arose in the days of the census, ¹³  and incited people to follow him in revolt. ¹⁴  He too was killed, and all who followed him were scattered.

Acts 2:7

2:7 Completely baffled, they said, ¹⁵  “Aren’t ¹⁶  all these who are speaking Galileans?

[10:37]  ¹ tn Or “proclaimed.”

[13:31]  ² tn Grk “who.” The relative pronoun (“who”) was replaced by the conjunction “and” and the pronoun “he” at this point to improve the English style.

[13:31]  ³ sn Those who had accompanied him refers to the disciples, who knew Jesus in ministry. Luke is aware of resurrection appearances in Galilee though he did not relate any of them in Luke 24.

[13:31]  ⁴ tn Grk “who.” The relative pronoun (“who”) was replaced by the demonstrative pronoun “these” and a new sentence was begun in the translation at this point to improve the English style, due to the length of the sentence in Greek and the awkwardness of two relative clauses (“who for many days appeared” and “who are now his witnesses”) following one another.

[1:11]  ³ tn The word “here” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.

[1:11]  ⁴ tc Codex Bezae (D) and several other witnesses lack the words εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν (ei" ton ouranon, “into heaven”) here, most likely by way of accidental deletion. In any event, it is hardly correct to suppose that the Western text has intentionally suppressed references to the ascension of Christ here, for the phrase is solidly attested in the final clause of the verse.

[9:31]  ⁴ tn Or “Therefore.” This verse is another summary text in Acts (cf. 2:41-47; 4:32-37; 5:12-16; 6:7).

[9:31]  ⁵ tn Grk “and Galilee,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[9:31]  ⁶ tn Grk “had.”

[9:31]  ⁷ tn Or “Built up.” The participle οἰκοδομουμένη (oikodomoumenh) has been translated as a participle of result related to εἶχεν (eicen). It could also be understood as adverbial to ἐπληθύνετο (eplhquneto): “Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria experienced peace. Strengthened and living in the fear of the Lord and in the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.” Although some scholars do not regard the participle of result as a legitimate category, it is actually fairly common (see ExSyn 637-39).

[9:31]  ⁸ tn Grk “And living.” 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.

[9:31]  ⁹ tn Grk “it”; the referent (the church) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:37]  ⁵ tn Or “registration.”

[5:37]  ⁶ tn The verb ἀφίστημι (afisthmi) as a transitive means “cause to revolt” as used in Josephus, Ant. 8.7.5 (8.198), 20.5.2 (20.102); see BDAG 157 s.v. 1.

[2:7]  ⁶ tn Grk “They were astounded and amazed, saying.” The two imperfect verbs, ἐξίσταντο (existanto) and ἐθαύμαζον (eqaumazon), show both the surprise and the confusion on the part of the hearers. The verb ἐξίσταντο (from ἐξίστημι, existhmi) often implies an illogical perception or response (BDAG 350 s.v. ἐξίστημι): “to be so astonished as to almost fail to comprehend what one has experienced” (L&N 25.218).

[2:7]  ⁷ tn Grk “Behold, aren’t all these.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) at the beginning of this statement has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).
