Footnotes
- 36 This window was probably a simple opening in the wall (see also θυρίς).
- 37 Grk “sinking into a deep sleep.” καταφέρω 3 has “ὕπνῳ βαθεῖ sink into a deep sleep … Ac 20:9a.” The participle καταφερόμενος (katapheromenos) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
- 38 The participle διαλεγομένου (dialegomenou) has been taken temporally.
- 39 καταφέρω 3 has “κατενεχθεὶς ἀπὸ τοῦ ὔπνου overwhelmed by sleep vs. 9b,” but this expression is less common in contemporary English than phrases like “fast asleep” or “sound asleep.”
