| NET Notes |
1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Cornelius) has been specified in the translation for clarity. 2 tn Grk “said,” but in response to the angel’s address, “replied” is better English style. 3 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity. 4 tn Or “your gifts to the needy.” 5 sn The language used in the expression gone up as a memorial before God parallels what one would say of acceptable sacrifices (Ps 141:2; Sir 35:6; 50:16). |
