[4:16]  ² tn Here σημεῖον (shmeion) has been translated as “miraculous sign” rather than simply “sign” or “miracle” since both components appear to be present in the context. It is clear that the healing of the lame man was a miracle, but for the Sanhedrin it was the value of the miraculous healing as a sign that concerned them because it gave attestation to the message of Peter and John. The sign “speaks” as Peter claimed in 3:11-16.

[4:16]  ³ tn Or “has been done by them.”

[5:12]  ⁴ tn The miraculous nature of these signs is implied in the context.

[5:12]  ⁵ tn Grk “And by.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[5:12]  ⁶ tn Or “With one mind.”

[5:12]  ⁷ tn Or “colonnade”; Grk “stoa.”

[5:14]  ⁸ tn Or “More and more believers were added to the Lord.”
