Acts 21:15-17

21:15 After these days we got ready ¹  and started up ²  to Jerusalem. 21:16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea ³  came along with us too, and brought us to the house ⁴  of Mnason of Cyprus, a disciple from the earliest times, ⁵  with whom we were to stay. 21:17 When we arrived in Jerusalem, the brothers welcomed us gladly. ⁶ 

[21:15]  ¹ tn Or “we made preparations.”

[21:15]  ² tn Grk “were going up”; the imperfect verb ἀνεβαίνομεν (anebainomen) has been translated as an ingressive imperfect.

[21:16]  ³ sn Caesarea was a city on the coast of Palestine south of Mount Carmel (not Caesarea Philippi). See the note on Caesarea in Acts 10:1.

[21:16]  ⁴ tn Grk “to Mnason…”; the words “the house of” are not in the Greek text, but are implied by the verb ξενισθῶμεν (xenisqwmen).

[21:16]  ⁵ tn Or perhaps, “Mnason of Cyprus, one of the original disciples.” BDAG 137 s.v. ἀρχαῖος 1 has “ἀ. μαθητής a disciple of long standing (perh. original disc.) Ac 21:16.”

[21:17]  ⁵ tn Or “warmly” (see BDAG 144 s.v. ἀσμένως).
