NET Notes

¹tn Grk “It happened that as.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

²tn Grk “going and nearing Damascus.”

²sn En route and near Damascus. This is the first retelling of Paul’s Damascus Road experience in Acts (cf. Acts 9:1-9; the second retelling is in Acts 26:9-20).

³tn BDAG 472 s.v. ἱκανός 3.b has “φῶς a very bright light Ac 22:6.”

⁴tn Or “from the sky” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”).

⁵tn Or “shone.”
