Acts 10:6

10:6 This man is staying as a guest with a man named Simon, a tanner, ¹  whose house is by the sea.”

Acts 27:38

27:38 When they had eaten enough to be satisfied, ²  they lightened the ship by throwing the wheat ³  into the sea.

[10:6]  ¹ tn Or “with a certain Simon Berseus.” Although most modern English translations treat βυρσεῖ (bursei) as Simon’s profession (“Simon the tanner”), it is possible that the word is actually Simon’s surname (“Simon Berseus” or “Simon Tanner”). BDAG 185 s.v. βυρσεύς regards it as a surname. See also MM 118.

[27:38]  ² tn Or “When they had eaten their fill.”

[27:38]  ³ tn Or “grain.”
