Footnotes

  1. 51 Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.” The expression God of our ancestors is a description of the God of Israel. The God of promise was at work again.
  2. 52 L&N 30.89 has “ ‘to choose in advance, to select beforehand, to designate in advance’ … ‘the God of our ancestors has already chosen you to know his will’ Ac 22:14.”
  3. 53 Grk “and to see.” This καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
  4. 54 The Righteous One is a reference to Jesus Christ (Acts 3:14).
  5. 55 Or “a solemn declaration”; Grk “a voice.” φωνή 2.c states, “that which the voice gives expression to: call, cry, outcry, loud or solemn declaration (… = order, command) … Cp. 22:14; 24:21.”
