Footnotes

62 Grk “taking Saul, brought him.” The participle ἐπιλαβόμενος (epilabomenos) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
63 Grk “him”; the referent (Saul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
64 Grk “and brought,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
65 Grk “and that,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
66 On this verb which is used 7 times in Acts, see παρρησιάζομαι 1. See also v. 28.
67 Grk “he was with them going in and going out in Jerusalem.” The expression “going in and going out” is probably best taken as an idiom for association without hindrance. Some modern translations (, ) translate the phrase “moving about freely in Jerusalem,” although the retains the literal “he went in and out among them in Jerusalem.”
