NET Notes |
1 tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.” 1 sn The expression God of our ancestors is a description of the God of Israel. The God of promise was at work again. 2 tn L&N 30.89 has “‘to choose in advance, to select beforehand, to designate in advance’…‘the God of our ancestors has already chosen you to know his will’ Ac 22:14.” 3 tn Grk “and to see.” This καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more. 4 sn The Righteous One is a reference to Jesus Christ (Acts 3:14). 5 tn Or “a solemn declaration”; Grk “a voice.” BDAG 1071-72 s.v. φωνή 2.c states, “that which the voice gives expression to: call, cry, outcry, loud or solemn declaration (… = order, command)…Cp. 22:14; 24:21.” |
