¹ tn Grk “the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.

sn See the note on the phrase the temple courts in the previous verse.

² tn Grk “alms.” See the note on the word “money” in the previous verse.

³ tn Or “nothing to say in opposition.”

⁴ tn The Greek term here is ἀνήρ (anhr), which is used only rarely in a generic sense of both men and women. In the historical setting here, Paul’s traveling companions were almost certainly all males.

⁵ tn That is, unable to speak because of fear or amazement. See BDAG 335 s.v. ἐνεός.

⁶ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author. Acts 22:9 appears to indicate that they saw the light but did not hear a voice. They were “witnesses” that something happened.

⁷ tn The words “the door” are not in the Greek text, but are implied (see Acts 12:13).

⁸ sn That they were greatly astonished is a common response in Luke-Acts to God’s work (Luke 8:56; Acts 2:7, 12; 8:13; 9:21; 10:45).
