[5:35]  ¹ tn Grk “said to them”; the referent (the council) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:35]  ² tn Or “Israelite men,” although this is less natural English. The Greek term here is ἀνήρ (anhr), which only exceptionally is used in a generic sense of both males and females. In this context, it is highly unlikely that this is a generic usage, since Gamaliel was addressing the Sanhedrin, the Jewish high council, which would have been exclusively male.

[5:35]  ³ tn Or “men, be careful.”

[6:2]  ⁴ sn The twelve refers to the twelve apostles.

[6:2]  ⁵ tn Grk “calling the whole group…together, said.” The participle προσκαλεσάμενοι (proskalesamenoi) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[6:2]  ⁶ tn Or “the multitude.”

[6:2]  ⁷ tn Grk “to serve tables.”

[10:7]  ⁸ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Cornelius) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:7]  ⁹ tn Or “domestic servants.” The Greek word here is οἰκέτης (oiketh"), which technically refers to a member of the household, but usually means a household servant (slave) or personal servant rather than a field laborer.

[10:7]  ¹⁰ tn The meaning of the genitive participle προσκαρτερούντων (proskarterountwn) could either be “a soldier from the ranks of those who served him” (referring to his entire command) or “a soldier from among his personal staff” (referring to a group of soldiers who were his personal attendants). The translation “from among those who served him” is general enough to cover either possibility.

[20:29]  ¹¹ tn Grk “after my departure.”

[20:29]  ¹² tn That is, people like fierce wolves. See BDAG 167-68 s.v. βαρύς 4 on the term translated “fierce.” The battle that will follow would be a savage one.

[25:21]  ¹³ tn A designation of the Roman emperor (in this case, Nero). BDAG 917 s.v. σεβαστός states, “ὁ Σεβαστός His Majesty the Emperor Ac 25:21, 25 (of Nero).” It was a translation into Greek of the Latin “Augustus.”

[25:21]  ¹⁴ tn Or “to the emperor” (“Caesar” is a title for the Roman emperor).

[27:34]  ¹⁵ tn Or “necessary.” BDAG 873-74 s.v. πρός 1 has “πρ. τῆς σωτηρίας in the interest of safety Ac 27:34”; L&N 27.18 has “‘therefore, I urge you to take some food, for this is important for your deliverance’ or ‘…for your survival’ Ac 27:34.”

[27:34]  ¹⁶ tn Or “deliverance” (‘salvation’ in a nontheological sense).
