Footnotes
- 84 Grk “And now, behold.” Here ἰδού (idou) has not been translated.
- 85 Grk “bound.”
- 86 This journey to Jerusalem suggests a parallel between Paul and Jesus, since the “Jerusalem journey” motif figures so prominently in Luke’s Gospel (9:51–19:44).
- 87 συναντάω 2 has τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ συναντήσοντα ἐμοὶ μὴ εἰδώς without knowing what will happen to me there Ac 20:22.”
- 88 πλήν 1.d has “πλὴν ὅτι except that … Ac 20:23.”
- 89 The verb διαμαρτύρομαι (diamarturomai) can mean “warn” ( διαμαρτύρομαι 2 has “solemnly urge, exhort, warn … of pers. addressed”), and this meaning better fits the context here, although categorizes Acts 20:23 under the meaning “testify of, bear witness to” ( 1).
- 90 The Greek text here reads κατὰ πόλιν (kata polin).
- 91 Grk “saying that,” but the participle λέγον (legon) is redundant in English and has not been translated.
- 92 Grk “bonds.”
- 93 Or “troubles,” “suffering.” See Acts 19:21; 21:4, 11.
