NET Notes

¹tn BDAG 826 s.v. πλήν 1.d has “πλὴν ὅτι except that…Ac 20:23.”

²tn The verb διαμαρτύρομαι (diamarturomai) can mean “warn” (BDAG 233 s.v. διαμαρτύρομαι 2 has “solemnly urge, exhort, warn…w. dat. of pers. addressed”), and this meaning better fits the context here, although BDAG categorizes Acts 20:23 under the meaning “testify of, bear witness to” (s.v. 1).

³tn The Greek text here reads κατὰ πόλιν (kata polin).

⁴tn Grk “saying that,” but the participle λέγον (legon) is redundant in English and has not been translated.

⁵tn Grk “bonds.”

⁶tn Or “troubles,” “suffering.” See Acts 19:21; 21:4, 11.
