Acts 24:3

24:3 Most excellent Felix, ¹  we acknowledge this everywhere and in every way ²  with all gratitude. ³ 

Acts 13:24

13:24 Before ⁴  Jesus ⁵  arrived, John ⁶  had proclaimed a baptism for repentance ⁷  to all the people of Israel.

[24:3]  ¹ sn Most excellent Felix. See the note on Felix in 23:24.

[24:3]  ² tn Grk “in every way and everywhere.”

[24:3]  ³ tn Or “with complete thankfulness.” BDAG 416 s.v. εὐχαριστία 1 has “μετὰ πάσης εὐ.…with all gratitude Ac 24:3.” L&N 31.26 has “‘we acknowledge this anywhere and everywhere with complete thankfulness’ Ac 24:3.”

[13:24]  ⁴ tn Grk “John having already proclaimed before his coming a baptism…,” a genitive absolute construction which is awkward in English. A new sentence was begun in the translation at this point.

[13:24]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the context for clarity, since God is mentioned in the preceding context and John the Baptist in the following clause.

[13:24]  ⁶ sn John refers here to John the Baptist.

[13:24]  ⁷ tn Grk “a baptism of repentance”; the genitive has been translated as a genitive of purpose.
