Acts 3:16

3:16 And on the basis of faith in Jesus’ ¹  name, ²  his very name has made this man – whom you see and know – strong. The ³  faith that is through Jesus ⁴  has given him this complete health in the presence ⁵  of you all.

Acts 19:26

19:26 And you see and hear that this Paul has persuaded ⁶  and turned away ⁷  a large crowd, ⁸  not only in Ephesus ⁹  but in practically all of the province of Asia, ¹⁰  by saying ¹¹  that gods made by hands are not gods at all. ¹² 

Acts 25:24

25:24 Then Festus ¹³  said, “King Agrippa, ¹⁴  and all you who are present here with us, you see this man about whom the entire Jewish populace ¹⁵  petitioned ¹⁶  me both in Jerusalem ¹⁷  and here, ¹⁸  shouting loudly ¹⁹  that he ought not to live any longer.

[3:16]  ¹ tn Grk “in his name”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:16]  ² sn Here is another example of appeal to the person by mentioning the name. See the note on the word name in 3:6.

[3:16]  ³ tn Grk “see and know, and the faith.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation and καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated.

[3:16]  ⁴ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:16]  ⁵ tn Or “in full view.”

[19:26]  ⁶ tn Grk “persuading.” The participle πείσας (peisa") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[19:26]  ⁷ tn Or “misled.”

[19:26]  ⁸ tn BDAG 472 s.v. ἱκανός 3.a has “of pers. ὄχλος a large crowd…Ac 11:24, 26; 19:26.”

[19:26]  ⁹ map For location see JP1 D2; JP2 D2; JP3 D2; JP4 D2.

[19:26]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “Asia”; see the note on this word in v. 22.

[19:26]  ¹¹ tn The participle λέγων (legwn) has been regarded as indicating instrumentality.

[19:26]  ¹² tn The words “at all” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

[25:24]  ¹¹ sn See the note on Porcius Festus in 24:27.

[25:24]  ¹² sn See the note on King Agrippa in 25:13.

[25:24]  ¹³ tn Probably best understood as rhetorical hyperbole. BDAG 825 s.v. πλῆθος 2.b.γ states, “people, populace, population…τὸ πλῆθος the populace…ἅπαν τὸ πλ. τῶν ᾿Ιουδαίων Ac 25:24.” However, the actions of the leadership are seen by Luke as representing the actions of the entire nation, so the remark is not inaccurate.

[25:24]  ¹⁴ tn Or “appealed to” (BDAG 341 s.v. ἐντυγχάνω 1.a).

[25:24]  ¹⁵ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[25:24]  ¹⁶ sn Here means “here in Caesarea.”

[25:24]  ¹⁷ tn Or “screaming.”
