Footnotes

  1. 5 The words “to heaven” are not in the Greek text, but are supplied from v. 11. Several modern translations (, ) supply the words “to heaven” after “taken up” to specify the destination explicitly mentioned later in 1:11.
  2. 6 Or “commands.” Although some modern translations render ἐντειλάμενος (enteilamenos) as “instructions” (, ), the word implies authority or official sanction (G. Schrenk, 2:545), so that a word like “orders” conveys the idea more effectively. The action of the temporal participle is antecedent (prior) to the action of the verb it modifies (“taken up”).
  3. 7 Or “through.”
