Footnotes

  1. 34 Another translation would be “they suborned” (but this term is not in common usage). “Instigate (secretly), suborn” is given by ὑποβάλλω.
  2. 35 Grk “heard him”; but since this is direct discourse, it is more natural (and clearer) to specify the referent (Stephen) as “this man.”
