NET Notes

¹tn Or “know your suffering.” This could refer to suffering or distress caused by persecution (see L&N 22.2).

²tn Because of the length and complexity of this Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the phrase “I also know” to link this English sentence back to “I know” at the beginning of the verse.

³tn The words “against you” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.

⁴sn A synagogue was a place for Jewish prayer and worship, with recognized leadership (e.g., Mt 4:23, Mk 1:21, Lk 4:15, Jn 6:59).
