[6:7]  ¹ tn Grk “kept on spreading”; the verb has been translated as a progressive imperfect.

[6:7]  ³ tn Grk “a great multitude.”

[6:7]  sn A large group. Many Jews, even some religious leaders, were responding.

[2:41]  ⁴ tn Or “who acknowledged the truth of.”

[2:41]  ⁵ tn Grk “word.”

[2:41]  ⁶ tn Grk “souls” (here an idiom for the whole person).

[2:41]  ⁷ tn Or “were won over.”

[2:47]  ⁸ tn Or “the favor.”

[2:47]  ⁹ tn BDAG 437 s.v. ἡμέρα 2.c has “every day” for this phrase.

[4:4]  ¹⁰ tn Or “had heard.”

[4:4]  ¹¹ tn Or “word.”

[4:4]  ¹² tn In the historical setting it is likely that only men are referred to here. The Greek term ἀνήρ (anhr) usually refers to males or husbands rather than people in general. Thus to translate “of the people” would give a false impression of the number, since any women and children were apparently not included in the count.

[5:14]  ¹³ tn Or “More and more believers were added to the Lord.”

[5:28]  ¹⁴ tc ‡ The majority of mss, including a few important witnesses (א² D E [Ψ] 1739 Ï sy sa), have the negative particle οὐ (ou) here, effectively turning the high priest’s words into a question: “Did we not give you strict orders not to teach in this name?” But the earliest and most important mss, along with some others (Ì⁷⁴ א* A B 1175 lat bo), lack the particle, making this a strong statement rather than a question. Scribes may have been tempted to omit the particle to strengthen the contrast between official Judaism and the new faith, but the fact that v. 27 introduces the quotation with ἐπηρώτησεν (ephrwthsen, “he questioned”) may well have prompted scribes to add οὐ to convert the rebuke into a question. Further, that excellent witnesses affirm the shorter reading is sufficient ground for accepting it as most probably authentic. NA²⁷ includes the particle in brackets, indicating some doubt as to its authenticity.

[5:28]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “We commanded you with a commandment” (a Semitic idiom that is emphatic).

[5:28]  ¹⁶ sn The name (i.e., person) of Jesus is the constant issue of debate.

[5:28]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “And behold.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence and the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[5:28]  ¹⁹ sn To bring this man’s blood on us is an idiom meaning “you intend to make us guilty of this man’s death.”
