Footnotes

  1. 40 Grk “going down.” The participle καταβάς (katabas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
  2. 41 ἐπιπίπτω 1.b has “ἐπέπεσεν αὐτῷ he threw himself upon him Ac 20:10.”
  3. 42 Grk “on him”; the referent (the young man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  4. 43 συμπεριλαμβάνω has “to throw one’s arms around, embrace to be supplied Ac 20:10.” However, “embraced the young man” might be taken (out of context) to have erotic implications, while “threw his arms around him” would be somewhat redundant since “threw” has been used in the previous phrase.
  5. 44 Grk “for his life is in him” (an idiom).
