Footnotes

  1. 168 Grk “he”; the referent (Stephen) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  2. 169 Grk “being full,” but the participle ὑπάρχων (huparchōn) has not been translated since it would be redundant in English.
  3. 170 Grk “looking intently toward heaven, saw.” The participle ἀτενίσας (atenisas) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
  4. 171 The picture of Jesus standing (rather than seated) probably indicates his rising to receive his child. By announcing his vision, Stephen thoroughly offended his audience, who believed no one could share God’s place in heaven. The phrase is a variation on Ps 110:1.
