[2:19]  ¹ tn Or “in the heaven.” The Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) may be translated “sky” or “heaven” depending on the context. Here, in contrast to “the earth below,” a reference to the sky is more likely.

[2:19]  ² tn Here the context indicates the miraculous nature of the signs mentioned; this is made explicit in the translation.

[2:43]  ³ tn Or “Fear.”

[2:43]  ⁴ tn Grk “on every soul” (here “soul” is an idiom for the whole person).

[2:43]  ⁵ tn In this context the miraculous nature of these signs is implied. Cf. BDAG 920 s.v. σημεῖον 2.a.

[6:8]  ⁵ tn The miraculous nature of these signs is implied in the context. Here the work of miracles extends beyond the Twelve for the first time.

[4:30]  ⁷ tn The miraculous nature of these signs is implied in the context.

[5:12]  ⁹ tn The miraculous nature of these signs is implied in the context.

[5:12]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “And by.” 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.

[5:12]  ¹¹ tn Or “With one mind.”

[5:12]  ¹² tn Or “colonnade”; Grk “stoa.”

[7:36]  ¹¹ tn Here the context indicates the miraculous nature of the signs mentioned.

[7:36]  ¹² tn Or simply “in Egypt.” The phrase “the land of” could be omitted as unnecessary or redundant.

[7:36]  ¹³ tn Grk “and at,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[7:36]  ¹⁴ tn Or “desert.”

[8:6]  ¹³ tn Grk “to what was being said by Philip,” a passive construction that has been changed to active voice in the translation.

[8:13]  ¹⁵ tn Or “he kept close company with.”

[8:13]  ¹⁶ sn He was amazed. Now Simon, the one who amazed others, is himself amazed, showing the superiority of Philip’s connection to God. Christ is better than anything the culture has to offer.

[14:3]  ¹⁷ tn The word “there” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

[14:3]  ¹⁸ sn The Lord testified to the message by granting the signs described in the following clause.

[14:3]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “word.”

[14:3]  ²⁰ tn Here the context indicates the miraculous nature of the signs mentioned.
