Footnotes

  1. 32 Grk “and punishing … I tried.” The participle τιμωρῶν (timōrōn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.
  2. 33 See the note on synagogue in .
  3. 34 The imperfect verb ἠνάγκαζον (ēnankazon) has been translated as a conative imperfect (so ἀναγκάζω 1, which has “ἠνάγκαζον βλασφημεῖν I tried to force them to blaspheme Ac 26:11”).
  4. 35 Or “was so insanely angry with them.” ἐμμαίνομαι states, “to be filled with such anger that one appears to be mad, be enraged … περισσῶς ἐμμαινόμενος αὐτοῖς being furiously enraged at them Ac 26:11”; L&N 88.182 ἐμμαίνομαι, “to be so furiously angry with someone as to be almost out of one’s mind—‘to be enraged, to be infuriated, to be insanely angry’ … ‘I was so infuriated with them that I even went to foreign cities to persecute them’ Ac 26:11.”
  5. 36 Or “I pursued them even as far as foreign cities.”
