1 tn Grk “And as.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.
2 tn Grk “behold.”
3 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Cornelius) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
4 tn Grk “said,” but in response to the angel’s address, “replied” is better English style.

6 tn Or “your gifts to the needy.”
7 sn The language used in the expression gone up as a memorial before God parallels what one would say of acceptable sacrifices (Ps 141:2; Sir 35:6; 50:16).
