[5:11]  1 tn Grk “And great.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[5:11]  2 tn Or “fear came on,” “fear seized”; Grk “fear happened to.”

[5:11]  3 sn This is the first occurrence of the term church (ἐκκλησία, ekklhsia) in Acts. It refers to an assembly of people.

[9:14]  4 tn Grk “to bind.”

[9:14]  5 sn The expression “those who call on your name” is a frequent description of believers (Acts 2:21; 1 Cor 1:2; Rom 10:13).

[17:30]  7 tn Or “has deliberately paid no attention to.”

[17:30]  8 tn Or “times when people did not know.”

[17:30]  9 tn Here ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") has been translated as a generic noun (“people”).

[17:30]  10 sn He now commands all people everywhere to repent. God was now asking all mankind to turn to him. No nation or race was excluded.

[18:23]  10 tn Grk “Having spent”; the participle ποιήσας (poihsas) is taken temporally.

[18:23]  11 sn Galatia refers to either (1) the region of the old kingdom of Galatia in the central part of Asia Minor, or (2) the Roman province of Galatia, whose principal cities in the 1st century were Ancyra and Pisidian Antioch. The exact extent and meaning of this area has been a subject of considerable controversy in modern NT studies.

[18:23]  12 sn Phrygia was a district in central Asia Minor west of Pisidia. See Acts 16:6.

[28:30]  13 tn Grk “He”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[28:30]  14 tn Or “stayed.”

[28:30]  15 tn Or perhaps, “two whole years at his own expense.” BDAG 654 s.v. μίσθωμα states, “the customary act. mng. ‘contract price, rent’…is not found in our lit. (Ac) and the pass. what is rented, a rented house is a mng. not found outside it (even Ammonius Gramm. [100 ad] p. 93 Valck. knows nothing of it. Hence the transl. at his own expense [NRSV] merits attention) ἐν ἰδίῳ μισθώματι in his own rented lodgings Ac 28:30 (for the idea cp. Jos., Ant. 18, 235).”

[28:30]  16 tn Or “and received.”
