NETBible

who was with the proconsul¹ Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. The proconsul² summoned³ Barnabas and Saul and wanted to hear⁴ the word of God.

NET Notes

¹sn The proconsul was the Roman official who ruled over a province traditionally under the control of the Roman senate.

²tn Grk “This one”; the referent (the proconsul) is specified in the translation for clarity.

³tn Grk “summoning Barnabas and Saul, wanted to hear.” The participle προσκαλεσάμενος (proskalesameno") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

⁴sn The proconsul…wanted to hear the word of God. This description of Sergius Paulus portrays him as a sensitive, secular Gentile leader.
