Footnotes

  1. 3 Grk “no little argument and debate” (an idiom).
  2. 4 Grk “they”; the referent (the church, or the rest of the believers at Antioch) has been specified to avoid confusion with the Judaizers mentioned in the preceding clause.
  3. 5 Grk “go up to,” but in this context a meeting is implied.
  4. 6 For location see ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; .
  5. 7 Or “point of controversy.” It is unclear whether this event parallels Gal 2:1–10 or that Gal 2 fits with Acts 11:30. More than likely Gal 2:1–10 is to be related to Acts 11:30.
