3:11 While the man ³⁶  was hanging on to Peter and John, all the people, completely astounded, ran together to them in the covered walkway ³⁷  called Solomon’s Portico. ³⁸ 

[14:1]  ¹ sn Iconium. See the note in 13:51.

[14:1]  ² tn Grk “they”; the referents (Paul and Barnabas) have been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:1]  ³ sn See the note on synagogue in 6:9.

[14:1]  ⁴ tn Or “that a large crowd.”

[14:6]  ⁵ tn Grk “they”; the referents (Paul and Barnabas) have been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:6]  ⁶ tn Grk “learning about it, fled.” The participle συνιδόντες (sunidonte") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. It could also be taken temporally (“when they learned about it”) as long as opening clause of v. 5 is not translated as a temporal clause too, which results in a redundancy.

[14:6]  ⁷ sn Lystra was a city in Lycaonia about 18 mi (30 km) south of Iconium, a Roman colony that was not on the main roads of Lycaonia. Because of its relative isolation, its local character was able to be preserved.

[14:6]  ⁸ sn Derbe was a city in Lycaonia about 35 mi (60 km) southeast of Lystra.

[14:8]  ⁹ tn Grk “And in.” 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.

[14:8]  ¹⁰ sn Lystra was a city in Lycaonia about 18 mi (30 km) south of Iconium.

[14:8]  ¹¹ tn Grk “powerless in his feet,” meaning he was unable to use his feet to walk.

[14:8]  ¹² tn Grk “lame from his mother’s womb” (an idiom).

[14:19]  ¹³ sn Antioch was a city in Pisidia about 90 mi (145 km) west northwest of Lystra.

[14:19]  ¹⁴ sn Iconium was a city in Lycaonia about 18 mi (30 km) north of Lystra. Note how Jews from other cities were chasing Paul (2 Cor 11:4-6; Gal 2:4-5; Acts 9:16).

[14:19]  ¹⁵ tn The participle πείσαντες (peisante") is taken temporally (BDAG 791 s.v. πείθω 1.c).

[14:19]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “stoning Paul they dragged him.” The participle λιθάσαντες (liqasante") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[13:14]  ¹⁷ tn Or “Passing by.”

[13:14]  ¹⁸ sn Perga was a city in Pamphylia near the southern coast of Asia Minor.

[13:14]  ¹⁹ tn Or “at Antioch in Pisidia.”

[13:14]  ²⁰ tn Grk “going into the synagogue they sat down.” The participle εἰσελθόντες (eiselqonte") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[13:14]  ²¹ sn See the note on synagogue in 6:9.

[13:51]  ²² tn The participle ἐκτιναξάμενοι (ektinaxamenoi) is taken temporally. It could also be translated as a participle of attendant circumstance (“So they shook…and went”).

[13:51]  ²³ sn Shaking the dust off their feet was a symbolic gesture commanded by Jesus to his disciples, Matt 10:14; Mark 6:11; Luke 9:5. It shows a group of people as culpable before God.

[13:51]  ²⁴ sn Iconium was a city in Lycaonia about 90 mi (145 km) east southeast of Pisidian Antioch. It was the easternmost city of Phrygia.

[15:36]  ²⁵ tn Grk “Returning let us visit.” The participle ἐπιστρέψαντες (epistreyante") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[15:36]  ²⁶ tn See the note on the phrase “word of the Lord” in v. 35.

[15:36]  ²⁷ tn BDAG 422 s.v. ἔχω 10.b has “how they are” for this phrase.

[16:2]  ²⁸ sn Lystra was a city in Lycaonia about 25 mi (40 km) south of Iconium.

[16:2]  ²⁹ sn Iconium was a city in Lycaonia about 110 mi (175 km) east of Pisidian Antioch.

[16:2]  ³⁰ tn For this sense of μαρτυρέω (marturew), see BDAG 618 s.v. 2.b.

[16:2]  ³¹ 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.

[16:2]  ³² sn Lystra was a city in Lycaonia about 25 mi (40 km) south of Iconium.

[16:2]  ³³ sn Iconium was a city in Lycaonia about 110 mi (175 km) east of Pisidian Antioch.

[16:2]  ³⁴ tn For this sense of μαρτυρέω (marturew), see BDAG 618 s.v. 2.b.

[16:2]  ³⁵ 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.

[3:11]  ³⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:11]  ³⁷ tn Or “portico,” “colonnade”; Grk “stoa.” The translation “covered walkway” (a descriptive translation) was used here because the architectural term “portico” or “colonnade” is less familiar. However, the more technical term “portico” was retained in the actual name that follows.

[3:11]  ³⁸ sn Solomon’s Portico was a covered walkway formed by rows of columns supporting a roof and open on the inner side facing the center of the temple complex. It was located on the east side of the temple (Josephus, Ant. 15.11.3-5 [15.391-420], 20.9.7 [20.221]) and was a place of commerce and conversation.
