[13:17]  ¹ tn Or “as ones who will give an account”; Grk “as giving an account.”

[13:17]  ² tn Grk “that they may do this.”

[24:45]  ³ tn See the note on the word “slave” in 8:9.

[24:45]  ⁴ tn Grk “give them.”

[12:42]  ⁵ tn Grk “And the Lord said.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[12:42]  ⁶ tn Or “administrator,” “steward” (L&N 37.39).

[12:42]  ⁷ tn This term, θεραπεία (qerapeia), describes the group of servants working in a particular household (L&N 46.6).

[14:23]  ⁸ sn Appointed elders. See Acts 20:17.

[14:23]  ⁹ tn The preposition κατά (kata) is used here in a distributive sense; see BDAG 512 s.v. κατά B.1.d.

[14:23]  ¹⁰ tn Literally with a finite verb (προσευξάμενοι, proseuxamenoi) rather than a noun, “praying with fasting,” but the combination “prayer and fasting” is so familiar in English that it is preferable to use it here.

[14:23]  ¹¹ tn BDAG 772 s.v. παρατίθημι 3.b has “entrust someone to the care or protection of someone” for this phrase. The reference to persecution or suffering in the context (v. 22) suggests “protection” is a better translation here. This looks at God’s ultimate care for the church.

[14:1]  ¹³ tn Grk “they”; the referents (Paul and Barnabas) have been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:1]  ¹⁵ tn Or “that a large crowd.”

[5:12]  ¹⁶ tn The miraculous nature of these signs is implied in the context.

[5:12]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “And by.” 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.

[5:12]  ¹⁸ tn Or “With one mind.”

[5:12]  ¹⁹ tn Or “colonnade”; Grk “stoa.”

[5:13]  ²⁰ tn Or “to associate with them.” The group was beginning to have a controversial separate identity. People were cautious about joining them. The next verse suggests that the phrase “none of the rest” in this verse is rhetorical hyperbole.

[5:13]  ²¹ tn Or “the people thought very highly of them.”

[3:5]  ²² tn Grk “So he”; the referent (the lame man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
