Acts 1:25

---

¹ tn The referent of “this man” (Judas) was specified in the translation for clarity.

² tn Traditionally, “with the reward of his wickedness.”

³ tn Traditionally, “falling headlong.”

⁴ tn Or “all his bowels.”

⁵ tn Grk “to take the place.”

⁶ tn Or “of this ministry.”

⁷ tn Or “the task of this service and apostleship which Judas ceased to perform.”

⁸ sn To go to his own place. This may well be a euphemism for Judas’ judged fate. He separated himself from them, and thus separated he would remain.
