15:10 So now why are you putting God to the test ¹¹  by placing on the neck of the disciples a yoke ¹²  that neither our ancestors ¹³  nor we have been able to bear?

[4:19]  ¹ tn Grk “answered and said to them.”

[4:19]  ² tn Grk “hear,” but the idea of “hear and obey” or simply “obey” is frequently contained in the Greek verb ἀκούω (akouw; see L&N 36.14).

[8:30]  ³ tn The participle προσδραμών (prosdramwn) is regarded as attendant circumstance.

[8:30]  ⁴ tn The words “to it” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

[8:30]  ⁵ tn Grk “heard him”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:30]  ⁶ tn Grk “and he.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun.

[8:30]  ⁷ tn Grk “he said”; but since what follows is a question, it is better English style to translate the introduction to the question “he asked him.”

[8:34]  ⁸ tn Grk “answered and said.” The redundant participle ἀποκριθείς (apokriqei") has not been translated.

[8:34]  ⁹ tn Grk “I beg you,” “I ask you.”

[8:34]  ¹⁰ sn About himself, or about someone else? It is likely in 1st century Judaism this would have been understood as either Israel or Isaiah.

[15:10]  ¹¹ tn According to BDAG 793 s.v. πειράζω 2.c, “In Ac 15:10 the πειράζειν τὸν θεόν consists in the fact that after God’s will has been clearly made known through granting of the Spirit to the Gentiles (v. 8), some doubt and make trial to see whether God’s will really becomes operative.” All testing of God in Luke is negative: Luke 4:2; 11:16.

[15:10]  ¹² sn A yoke is a wooden bar or frame that joins two animals like oxen or horses so that they can pull a wagon, plow, etc. together. Here it is used figuratively of the restriction that some in the early church wanted to place on Gentile converts to Christianity of observing the law of Moses and having males circumcised. The yoke is a decidedly negative image: Matt 23:4, but cf. Matt 11:29-30.

[15:10]  ¹³ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”
