¹ sn A quotation from Ps 16:8-11.

² tn BDAG 826 s.v. πλήν 1.d has “πλὴν ὅτι except that…Ac 20:23.”

³ tn The verb διαμαρτύρομαι (diamarturomai) can mean “warn” (BDAG 233 s.v. διαμαρτύρομαι 2 has “solemnly urge, exhort, warn…w. dat. of pers. addressed”), and this meaning better fits the context here, although BDAG categorizes Acts 20:23 under the meaning “testify of, bear witness to” (s.v. 1).

⁴ tn The Greek text here reads κατὰ πόλιν (kata polin).

⁵ tn Grk “saying that,” but the participle λέγον (legon) is redundant in English and has not been translated.

⁶ tn Grk “bonds.”

⁷ tn Or “troubles,” “suffering.” See Acts 19:21; 21:4, 11.

⁸ tn This is a continuation of the same sentence in Greek using the connective τέ (te), but due to the length and complexity of the Greek sentence a new sentence was begun in the translation here. To indicate the logical sequence for the modern English reader, τέ was translated as “then.”

⁹ tn Grk “in the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.
