Footnotes
- 123 Grk “He”; the referent (the jailer) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 124 Grk “placed [food] on the table” (a figurative expression). Since the actual word for food is not specified, it would also be possible to translate “set a meal before them,” but since this is taking place in the middle of the night, the preparations necessary for a full meal would probably not have been made. More likely Paul and Silas were given whatever was on hand that needed little or no preparation.
- 125 Or “he was overjoyed.”
- 126 The translation “come to believe” reflects more of the resultative nuance of the perfect tense here.
- 127 The phrase “together with his entire household” is placed at the end of the English sentence so that it refers to both the rejoicing and the belief. A formal equivalence translation would have “and he rejoiced greatly with his entire household that he had come to believe in God,” but the reference to the entire household being baptized in v. 33 presumes that all in the household believed.
