Footnotes
- 14 Or “going to burn with fever.” According to πίμπρημι, either meaning (“swell up” or “burn with fever”) is possible for Acts 28:6.
- 15 The participle προσδοκώντων (prosdokōntōn) has been taken temporally.
- 16 The participle θεωρούντων (theōrountōn) has been taken temporally.
- 17 Grk “happening.” The participle γινόμενον (ginomenon) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
- 18 Grk “changing their minds.” The participle μεταβαλόμενοι (metabalomenoi) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
- 19 And said he was a god. The reaction is like Acts 14:11–19 where the crowd wanted to make Paul and Barnabas into gods. The providence of God had protected Paul again.
