Footnotes

  1. 73 Grk “God raising up his servant, sent him.” The participle ἀναστήσας (anastēsas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. Some translations (e.g., , ) render this participle as temporal (“when God raised up his servant”).
  2. 74 The picture of turning is again seen as the appropriate response to the message. See v. above. In v. 19 it was “turning to,” here it is “turning away from.” The direction of the two metaphors is important.
  3. 75 For the translation of plural πονηρία (ponēria) as “iniquities,” see G. Harder, 6:565. The plural is important, since for Luke turning to Jesus means turning away from sins, not just the sin of rejecting Jesus.
