[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.

[12:4]  ¹¹ sn Four squads of soldiers. Each squad was a detachment of four soldiers.

[12:4]  ¹² tn Grk “guard him, planning to bring him out.” The Greek construction continues with a participle (βουλόμενος, boulomeno") and an infinitive (ἀναγαγεῖν, anagagein), but this creates an awkward and lengthy sentence in English. Thus a reference to Herod was introduced as subject and the participle translated as a finite verb (“Herod planned”).

[12:4]  ¹³ tn Or “intended”; Grk “wanted.”

[12:4]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “to bring him out to the people,” but in this context a public trial (with certain condemnation as the result) is doubtless what Herod planned. L&N 15.176 translates this phrase “planning to bring him up for a public trial after the Passover.”

[20:29]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “after my departure.”

[20:29]  ¹⁶ 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.

[20:31]  ¹⁷ tn Or “be watchful.”

[20:31]  ¹⁸ tn Or “admonishing.”

[24:23]  ¹⁹ sn See the note on the word centurion in 10:1.

[24:23]  ²⁰ tn Grk “that he was to be guarded.” The passive construction (τηρεῖσθαι, threisqai) has been converted to an active one in parallel with the following clauses, and the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:23]  ²¹ tn BDAG 77 s.v. ἄνεσις 1 states, “lit. relaxation of custodial control, some liberty, ἀ. ἔχειν have some freedom Ac 24:23.”

[24:23]  ²² tn Grk “any of his own” (this could also refer to relatives).

[24:23]  ²³ tn Grk “from serving him.”

[25:21]  ²⁴ 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]  ²⁵ tn Or “to the emperor” (“Caesar” is a title for the Roman emperor).
