[10:46]  1 tn Or “extolling,” “magnifying.”

[16:2]  2 sn Lystra was a city in Lycaonia about 25 mi (40 km) south of Iconium.

[16:2]  3 sn Iconium was a city in Lycaonia about 110 mi (175 km) east of Pisidian Antioch.

[16:2]  4 tn For this sense of μαρτυρέω (marturew), see BDAG 618 s.v. 2.b.

[16:2]  5 tn Grk “who was well spoken of by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium.” Because of the awkwardness in English of having two relative clauses follow one another (“who was a believer…who was well spoken of”) and the awkwardness of the passive verb (“was well spoken of”), the relative pronoun at the beginning of 16:2 (“who”) has been translated as a pronoun (“him”) and the construction converted from passive to active at the same time a new sentence was started in the translation.
