Acts 23:26

23:26 Claudius Lysias to His Excellency Governor ¹  Felix, ²  greetings.

Acts 15:23

15:23 They sent this letter with them: ³ 

From the apostles ⁴  and elders, your brothers, ⁵  to the Gentile brothers and sisters ⁶  in Antioch, ⁷  Syria, ⁸  and Cilicia, greetings!

[23:26]  ¹ tn Grk “Procurator.” The official Roman title has been translated as “governor” (BDAG 433 s.v. ἡγεμών 2).

[23:26]  ² sn Governor Felix. See the note on Felix in v. 24.

[15:23]  ³ tn Grk “writing by their hand” (an idiom for sending a letter).

[15:23]  ⁴ tn Grk “The apostles.” The word “from” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the sender of the letter.

[15:23]  ⁵ tn Grk “brothers,” but “your” is supplied to specify the relationship, since without it “brothers” could be understood as vocative in English.

[15:23]  ⁶ tn Grk “to the brothers who are from the Gentiles.”

[15:23]  ⁷ sn Antioch was a city in Syria (not Antioch in Pisidia).

[15:23]  ⁸ tn Grk “and Syria,” 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.
