[3:3]  ¹ tn Grk “the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.

[3:3]  ² tn Grk “alms.” See the note on the word “money” in the previous verse.

[5:35]  ³ tn Grk “said to them”; the referent (the council) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:35]  ⁴ tn Or “Israelite men,” although this is less natural English. The Greek term here is ἀνήρ (anhr), which only exceptionally is used in a generic sense of both males and females. In this context, it is highly unlikely that this is a generic usage, since Gamaliel was addressing the Sanhedrin, the Jewish high council, which would have been exclusively male.

[5:35]  ⁵ tn Or “men, be careful.”

[22:16]  ⁵ tn L&N 67.121 has “to extend time unduly, with the implication of lack of decision – ‘to wait, to delay.’ νῦν τί μέλλεις… ἀναστὰς βάπτισαι ‘what are you waiting for? Get up and be baptized’ Ac 22:16.”

[22:16]  ⁶ tn Grk “getting up.” The participle ἀναστάς (anasta") is an adverbial participle of attendant circumstance and has been translated as a finite verb.

[22:16]  ⁷ sn The expression have your sins washed away means “have your sins purified” (the washing is figurative).

[22:16]  ⁸ sn The expression calling on his name describes the confession of the believer: Acts 2:17-38, esp. v. 38; Rom 10:12-13; 1 Cor 1:2.

[25:4]  ⁷ sn See the note on Porcius Festus in 24:27.

[25:4]  ⁸ 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.

[25:4]  ⁹ tn The word “there” is not in the Greek text but is implied.

[26:2]  ⁹ sn See the note on King Agrippa in 25:13.
