[21:12]  ¹ tn Or “the people there.”

[15:2]  ² tn Grk “no little argument and debate” (an idiom).

[15:2]  ³ tn Grk “they”; the referent (the church, or the rest of the believers at Antioch) has been specified to avoid confusion with the Judaizers mentioned in the preceding clause.

[15:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “go up to,” but in this context a meeting is implied.

[15:2]  ⁶ tn Or “point of controversy.” It is unclear whether this event parallels Gal 2:1-10 or that Gal 2 fits with Acts 11:30. More than likely Gal 2:1-10 is to be related to Acts 11:30.
