[16:9]  ¹ tn Or “for.”

[16:9]  ² tn Heb “the eyes of the Lord move quickly through all the earth.”

[16:9]  ³ tn Heb “to strengthen himself with their heart, [the one] complete toward him.”

[16:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “and he built up Ramah so as to not permit going out or coming in to Asa king of Judah.”

[8:30]  ⁵ tn The participle προσδραμών (prosdramwn) is regarded as attendant circumstance.

[8:30]  ⁶ tn The words “to it” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

[8:30]  ⁷ tn Grk “heard him”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:30]  ⁸ 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]  ⁹ 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.”

[8:2]  ¹⁰ tn “Some” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

[8:2]  ¹¹ sn Made loud lamentation. For someone who was stoned to death, lamentation was normally not allowed (m. Sanhedrin 6:6). The remark points to an unjust death.

[8:2]  ¹² tn Or “mourned greatly for him.”

[19:16]  ¹³ tn Grk “in whom the evil spirit was.”

[19:16]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “the man in whom the evil spirit was, jumping on them.” The participle ἐφαλόμενος (efalomeno") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. L&N 15.239 has “ἐφαλόμενος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς ‘the man jumped on them’ Ac 19:16.”

[19:16]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “and beating them all into submission.” The participle κατακυριεύσας (katakurieusa") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. According to W. Foerster, TDNT 3:1098, the word means “the exercise of dominion against someone, i.e., to one’s own advantage.” These exorcists were shown to be powerless in comparison to Jesus who was working through Paul.

[19:16]  ¹⁶ tn BDAG 484 s.v. ἰσχύω 3 has “win out, prevail…κατά τινος over, against someone Ac 19:16.”

[1:6]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “have sinned.” For stylistic reasons – to avoid redundancy in English – this was translated as “committed.”

[1:6]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “the house of my father.”

[34:15]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “the eyes of the Lord [are] toward the godly, and his ears [are] toward their cry for help.”
