[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.”

[5:37]  ⁶ tn Or “registration.”

[5:37]  ⁷ tn The verb ἀφίστημι (afisthmi) as a transitive means “cause to revolt” as used in Josephus, Ant. 8.7.5 (8.198), 20.5.2 (20.102); see BDAG 157 s.v. 1.

[6:14]  ¹¹ tn Or “practices.”

[13:27]  ¹⁶ tn BDAG 12-13 s.v. ἀγνοέω 1.b gives “not to know w. acc. of pers.” as the meaning here, but “recognize” is a better translation in this context because recognition of the true identity of the one they condemned is the issue. See Acts 2:22-24; 4:26-28.

[13:27]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “this one.”

[13:27]  ¹⁸ tn Usually φωνή (fwnh) means “voice,” but BDAG 1071-72 s.v. φωνή 2.c has “Also of sayings in scripture…Ac 13:27.”

[13:27]  ¹⁹ tn The participle κρίναντες (krinante") is instrumental here.

[13:27]  ²⁰ tn The word “him” is not in the Greek text but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context, but must be supplied for the modern English reader.

[16:3]  ²¹ tn Grk “this one”; the referent (Timothy) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:3]  ²² tn Grk “and taking him he circumcised him.” The participle λαβών (labwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. Paul’s cultural sensitivity showed in his action here. He did not want Timothy’s lack of circumcision to become an issue (1 Cor 9:15-23).

[16:3]  ²³ tn The verb περιέτεμεν (perietemen) here may be understood as causative (cf. ExSyn 411-12) if Paul did not personally perform the circumcision.

[16:3]  ²⁴ tn Or “who lived in the area.”

[16:3]  ²⁵ tn The anarthrous predicate nominative has been translated as qualitative (“Greek”) rather than indefinite (“a Greek”).

[23:18]  ²⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the centurion) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[23:18]  ²⁷ tn Grk “the chiliarch” (an officer in command of a thousand soldiers). See note on the term “commanding officer” in v. 10.

[23:18]  ²⁸ tn Grk “calling.” The participle προσκαλεσάμενος (proskalesameno") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
