Footnotes

50 Grk “It happened that after three days.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
51 Grk “he”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
52 L&N 33.309 has “ ‘after three days, he called the local Jewish leaders together’ Ac 28:17.”
53 Grk “Men brothers,” but this is both awkward and unnecessary in English.
54 The participle ποιήσας (poiēsas) has been translated as a concessive adverbial participle.
55 Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.” I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our ancestors. Once again Paul claimed to be faithful to the Jewish people and to the God of Israel.
56 For location see ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; .
57 Grk “into the hands of the Romans,” but this is redundant when παρεδόθην (paredothēn) has been translated “handed over.”
