[2:40]  ¹ tn Or “warned.”

[2:40]  ² tn Or “crooked” (in a moral or ethical sense). See Luke 3:5.

[6:11]  ³ tn Another translation would be “they suborned” (but this term is not in common usage). “Instigate (secretly), suborn” is given by BDAG 1036 s.v. ὑποβάλλω.

[6:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “heard him”; but since this is direct discourse, it is more natural (and clearer) to specify the referent (Stephen) as “this man.”

[7:22]  ⁵ tn Or “instructed.”

[7:22]  ⁶ tn Or “was able” (BDAG 264 s.v. δυνατός 1.b.α).

[10:44]  ⁷ tn Or “came down on.” God now acted to confirm the point of Peter’s speech.

[10:44]  ⁸ tn Or “word.”

[16:38]  ⁹ tn Grk “heard they”; the referents (Paul and Silas) have been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:38]  ¹⁰ sn Roman citizens. This fact was disturbing to the officials because due process was a right for a Roman citizen, well established in Roman law. To flog a Roman citizen was considered an abomination. Such punishment was reserved for noncitizens.
