[12:12]  1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:12]  2 tn Grk “John who was also called Mark.”

[12:1]  3 sn King Herod was Herod Agrippa I, the grandson of Herod I (Herod the Great). His mediocre career is summarized in Josephus, Ant. 18-19. This event took place in a.d. 42 or 43.

[12:1]  4 tn Or “King Herod had some from the church arrested.”

[12:1]  5 tn Or “to cause them injury.”

[5:13]  6 tn Or “to associate with them.” The group was beginning to have a controversial separate identity. People were cautious about joining them. The next verse suggests that the phrase “none of the rest” in this verse is rhetorical hyperbole.

[5:13]  7 tn Or “the people thought very highly of them.”
