[5:31]  ² tn Or “Founder” (of a movement).

[5:31]  ³ tn Or “to give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.”

[2:33]  ⁴ tn The aorist participle ὑψωθείς (Juywqei") could be taken temporally: “So then, after he was exalted…” In the translation the more neutral “exalted” (a shorter form of “having been exalted”) was used to preserve the ambiguity of the original Greek.

[2:33]  ⁵ sn The expression the right hand of God represents supreme power and authority. Its use here sets up the quotation of Ps 110:1 in v. 34.

[2:33]  ⁶ tn The aorist participle λαβών (labwn) could be taken temporally: “So then, after he was exalted…and received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit.” In the translation the more neutral “having received” was used to preserve the ambiguity of the original Greek.

[2:33]  ⁷ tn Here the genitive τοῦ πνεύματος (tou pneumato") is a genitive of apposition; the promise consists of the Holy Spirit.

[2:33]  ⁸ sn The use of the verb poured out looks back to 2:17-18, where the same verb occurs twice.

[13:17]  ⁷ tn Or “people of Israel.”

[13:17]  ⁸ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

[13:17]  ¹⁰ tn Or “as resident aliens.”

[13:17]  ¹¹ tn Or “land.”

[13:17]  ¹² sn Here uplifted arm is a metaphor for God’s power by which he delivered the Israelites from Egypt. See Exod 6:1, 6; 32:11; Deut 3:24; 4:34; Ps 136:11-12.
