Acts 21:29

21:29 (For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him previously, and ¹  they assumed Paul had brought him into the inner temple courts.) ² 

Acts 27:13

27:13 When a gentle south wind sprang up, they thought ³  they could carry out ⁴  their purpose, so they weighed anchor ⁵  and sailed close along the coast ⁶  of Crete.

¹ tn Grk “whom.”

² tn On the phrase “inner temple courts” see the note on the word “temple” in v. 28.

³ tn Grk “thinking.” The participle δόξαντες (doxante") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

⁴ tn Or “accomplish.” L&N 68.29, for κρατέω, has “to be able to complete or finish, presumably despite difficulties – ‘to accomplish, to do successfully, to carry out.’ …‘thinking that they could carry out their purpose’ Ac 27:13.”

⁵ tn Or “departed.”

⁶ tn L&N 54.8, “παραλέγομαι: (a technical, nautical term) to sail along beside some object – ‘to sail along the coast, to sail along the shore.’…‘they sailed along the coast of Crete’ Ac 27:13.” With the addition of the adverb ἆσσον (asson) this becomes “sailed close along the coast of Crete.”
