29:18 “Son of man, King Nebuchadrezzar ¹⁹  of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre. ²⁰  Every head was rubbed bald and every shoulder rubbed bare; yet he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the work he carried out against it. 29:19 Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: Look, I am about to give the land of Egypt to King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon.

[6:2]  ¹ tn Grk “give alms,” but this term is not in common use today. The giving of alms was highly regarded in the ancient world (Deut 15:7-11).

[6:2]  ² sn See the note on synagogues in 4:23.

[6:2]  ³ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[6:6]  ⁴ sn The term translated room refers to the inner room of a house, normally without any windows opening outside, the most private location possible (BDAG 988 s.v. ταμεῖον 2).

[6:6]  ⁵ tc See the tc note on “will reward you” in 6:4: The problem is the same and the ms support differs only slightly.

[6:16]  ⁶ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[6:16]  ⁷ tn Here the term “disfigure” used in a number of translations was not used because it could convey to the modern reader the notion of mutilation. L&N 79.17 states, “‘to make unsightly, to disfigure, to make ugly.’ ἀφανίζουσιν γὰρ τὰ πρόσωπα αὐτῶν ‘for they make their faces unsightly’ Mt 6:16.”

[6:16]  ⁸ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[6:2]  ⁹ tn Grk “give alms,” but this term is not in common use today. The giving of alms was highly regarded in the ancient world (Deut 15:7-11).

[6:2]  ¹¹ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[10:16]  ¹² tn Or “into the sky” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”).

[10:30]  ¹³ tn Grk “And Cornelius.” 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.

[10:30]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “said.”

[10:30]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “at the ninth hour.” Again, this is the hour of afternoon prayer.

[10:30]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “and behold.” The interjection ἰδού (idou) is difficult at times to translate into English. Here it has been translated as “suddenly” to convey the force of Cornelius’ account of the angel’s appearance.

[10:31]  ¹⁷ tn Or “your gifts to the needy.”

[10:31]  ¹⁸ sn This statement is a paraphrase rather than an exact quotation of Acts 10:4.

[29:18]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “Nebuchadrezzar” is a variant and more correct spelling of Nebuchadnezzar, as the Babylonian name Nabu-kudurri-usur has an “r” rather than an “n” (so also in v. 19).

[29:18]  ²⁰ sn Nebuchadnezzar besieged Tyre from 585 to 571 b.c.

[15:31]  ²³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the father) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:25]  ²⁴ tn The Greek term here is τέκνον (teknon), which could be understood as a term of endearment.

[16:25]  ²⁵ tn Or “in terrible pain” (L&N 24.92). Here is the reversal Jesus mentioned in Luke 6:20-26.

[3:4]  ²⁶ tn Grk “every man”; but ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used in a generic sense here to stress humanity rather than masculinity.

[3:4]  ²⁷ tn Grk “Let God be true, and every man a liar.” The words “proven” and “shown up” are supplied in the translation to clarify the meaning.

[3:4]  ²⁸ tn Grk “might be justified,” a subjunctive verb, but in this type of clause it carries the same sense as the future indicative verb in the latter part. “Will” is more idiomatic in contemporary English.

[3:4]  ²⁹ tn Or “prevail when you judge.” A quotation from Ps 51:4.

[3:19]  ³⁰ tn Grk “in,” “in connection with.”
