Footnotes
- 8 ποιέω 5.c, “w. an of time spend, stay.”
- 9 The participle βενομένης (benomenēs) has been translated as a causal adverbial participle. L&N 30.71 has “ἐπιβουλῆς αὐτῷ ὑπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ‘because the Jews had made a plot against him’ Ac 20:3.”
- 10 This plot is one of several noted by Luke (Acts 9:20; 20:19; 23:30).
- 11 μέλλω 1.c.γ has “denoting an intended action: intend, propose, have in mind … Ac 17:31; 20:3, 7, 13ab; 23:15; 26:2; 27:30.”
- 12 ἀνάγω 4 gives “put out to sea” here (as a nautical technical term). However, since the English expression “put out to sea” could be understood to mean Paul was already aboard the ship (which is not clear from the context), the simpler expression “sail” is used at this point in the translation.
- 13 γίνομαι 7 has “ἐγένετο γνώμης he decided Ac 20:3.”
- 14 Macedonia was the Roman province of Macedonia in Greece.
