Footnotes

84 Grk “of whom I am.” The relative clause with its possessive was translated following L&N 15.86 παρίσταμαι.
85 Or “worship.”
86 Or “stood by me.” παρίστημι/παριστάνω 2.a.α states, “approach, come τινί (to) someone … Ac 9:39; 27:23.”
87 Grk “came to me saying.” The participle λέγων (legōn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
88 παρίστημι/παριστάνω 2.a.α states, “Also as a t.t. of legal usage appear before, come before … Καίσαρι σε δεῖ παραστῆναι you must stand before the Emperor (as judge) Ac 27:24.” See Acts 23:11. Luke uses the verb δεῖ (dei) to describe what must occur.
89 Or “before the emperor” (“Caesar” is a title for the Roman emperor).
90 Grk “God has graciously granted you all who are sailing with you.” The words “the safety of” have been supplied to clarify the meaning of the verb κεχάρισται (kecharistai) in this context. The safety of all who are sailing with you. In a sense, Paul’s presence protects them all. For Luke, it serves as a picture of what the gospel does through Christ and through the one who brings the message.
