[3:1]  ² sn Going up to the temple at the time for prayer. The earliest Christians, being of Jewish roots, were still participating in the institutions of Judaism at this point. Their faith in Christ did not make them non-Jewish in their practices.

The exact extent and meaning of this area has been a subject of considerable controversy in modern NT studies.

[16:6]  ⁷ tn Or “word.”

[26:21]  ⁹ tn Grk “in the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.
