[5:17]  ¹ tn Heb “who were gathered around us at my table.”

[5:17]  ² tn Or “from the Gentiles.” The same Hebrew word can refer to “the Gentiles” or “the nations.” Cf. the phrase in 6:16.

[6:19]  ³ tn Heb “my words.”

[6:19]  ⁴ tn Or “to intimidate” (so NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[8:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “from the light till the noon of the day.”

[8:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “the ears of all the people were toward.”

[9:18]  ⁸ tn Heb “great.”

[11:12]  ⁹ tn Heb “brothers” (also in vv. 13, 14, 17, 19).

[13:1]  ¹¹ tn Heb “ears.”

[13:1]  ¹² tn Heb “it was found.” The Hebrew verb is passive.
