[10:4]  1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Cornelius) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:4]  2 tn Grk “said,” but in response to the angel’s address, “replied” is better English style.

[10:4]  3 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:4]  4 tn Or “your gifts to the needy.”

[10:4]  5 sn The language used in the expression gone up as a memorial before God parallels what one would say of acceptable sacrifices (Ps 141:2; Sir 35:6; 50:16).

[10:22]  6 sn See the note on the word centurion in 10:1.

[10:22]  7 tn Or “just.”

[10:22]  8 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]  9 tn Grk “hear words.”

[10:31]  10 tn Or “your gifts to the needy.”

[10:31]  11 sn This statement is a paraphrase rather than an exact quotation of Acts 10:4.
