Footnotes
- 1 The term ἀναίρεσις (anairesis) can refer to murder ( ; 2 Macc 5:13; Josephus, 5.2.12 [5.165]).
- 2 Or “severe.”
- 3 Grk “Now there happened on that day a great persecution.” It is less awkward to say in English “Now on that day a great persecution began.”
- 4 For location see ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; .
- 5 All. Given that the Jerusalem church is still active after this and that the Hellenists are the focus of Acts 6–8, it is possible to argue that only the Hellenistic Christians were forced to scatter.
- 6 Or “countryside.”
