Footnotes

  1. 51 Grk “in whom the evil spirit was.”
  2. 52 Grk “the man in whom the evil spirit was, jumping on them.” The participle ἐφαλόμενος (ephalomenos) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. L&N 15.239 has “ἐφαλόμενος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐπʼ αὐτούς ‘the man jumped on them’ Ac 19:16.”
  3. 53 Grk “and beating them all into submission.” The participle κατακυριεύσας (katakurieusas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. According to W. Foerster, 3:1098, the word means “the exercise of dominion against someone, i.e., to one’s own advantage.” These exorcists were shown to be powerless in comparison to Jesus who was working through Paul.
  4. 54 ἰσχύω 3 has “win out, prevail … κατά τινος over, against someone Ac 19:16.”
