[14:6] 1 tn Grk “they”; the referents (Paul and Barnabas) have been specified in the translation for clarity.
[14:6] 2 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] 3 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] 4 sn Derbe was a city in Lycaonia about 35 mi (60 km) southeast of Lystra.
[14:21] 5 sn Lystra was a city in Lycaonia about 35 mi (60 km) northwest of Derbe.
[14:21] 6 sn Iconium was a city in Lycaonia about 18 mi (30 km) north of Lystra.
[14:21] 7 sn Antioch was a city in Pisidia about 90 mi (145 km) west northwest of Lystra.
[16:1] 9 sn Derbe was a city in Lycaonia about 35 mi (60 km) southeast of Lystra. It was about 90 mi (145 km) from Tarsus.
[16:1] 10 sn Lystra was a city in Lycaonia about 25 mi (40 km) south of Iconium.
[16:1] 11 tn Grk “And behold, a disciple.” Here ἰδού (idou) has not been translated.
[16:1] 12 tn L&N 31.103 translates this phrase “the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer.”
[16:1] 13 sn His father was a Greek. Timothy was the offspring of a mixed marriage between a Jewish woman (see 2 Tim 1:5) and a Gentile man. On mixed marriages in Judaism, see Neh 13:23-27; Ezra 9:1-10:44; Mal 2:10-16; Jub. 30:7-17; m. Qiddushin 3.12; m. Yevamot 7.5.
