Footnotes
- 33 Grk “who.” The relative pronoun was replaced by the phrase “these two” and a new sentence was begun in the translation at this point to improve the English style.
- 34 Grk “For he”; the referent (the Spirit) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 35 Or “fallen on.”
- 36 This is a parenthetical note by the author.
- 37 Grk “on them”; the referent (the Samaritans) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 38 They received the Holy Spirit. It is likely this special distribution of the Spirit took place because a key ethnic boundary was being crossed. Here are some of “those far off” of Acts 2:38–40.
