Footnotes

  1. 22 Grk “And in.” 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.
  2. 23 Lystra was a city in Lycaonia about 18 mi (30 km) south of Iconium. For location see ; ; .
  3. 24 Grk “powerless in his feet,” meaning he was unable to use his feet to walk.
  4. 25 Grk “lame from his mother’s womb” (an idiom). The description lame from birth makes clear how serious the condition was, and how real it was. This event is very similar to Acts 3:1–10, except here the lame man’s faith is clear from the start.
