Footnotes

  1. 55 Grk “to the sea.” Here ἕως ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν (heōs epi tēn thalassan) must mean “to the edge of the sea,” that is, “to the coast.” Since there is no mention of Paul taking a ship to Athens, he presumably traveled overland. The journey would have been about 340 mi (550 km).
  2. 56 Grk “remained there”; the referent (Berea) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  3. 57 For location see ; ; ; .
  4. 58 They left. See 1 Thess 3:1–2, which shows they went from here to Thessalonica.
