1 tn In the Greek text v. 5 is a continuation of the previous sentence, which is long and complicated. In keeping with the tendency of contemporary English to use shorter sentences, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
2 tn The pronoun is plural in Greek.
3 sn Traditionally, “stiff-necked people.” Now the critique begins in earnest.
4 tn The term ἀπερίτμητοι (aperitmhtoi, “uncircumcised”) is a NT hapax legomenon (occurs only once). See BDAG 101-2 s.v. ἀπερίτμητος and Isa 52:1.
5 tn Or “You stubborn and obstinate people!” (The phrase “uncircumcised hearts and ears” is another figure for stubbornness.)
6 tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”
7 tn Or “ability”; Grk “authority.”
8 tn Or “came down on.” God now acted to confirm the point of Peter’s speech.
9 tn Or “word.”
10 tn Grk “And now, behold.” Here ἰδού (idou) has not been translated.
11 tn Grk “bound.”
12 sn This journey to Jerusalem suggests a parallel between Paul and Jesus, since the “Jerusalem journey” motif figures so prominently in Luke’s Gospel (9:51-19:44).
13 tn BDAG 965 s.v. συναντάω 2 has τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ συναντήσοντα ἐμοὶ μὴ εἰδώς without knowing what will happen to me there Ac 20:22.”
14 tn BDAG 826 s.v. πλήν 1.d has “πλὴν ὅτι except that…Ac 20:23.”
15 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).
16 tn The Greek text here reads κατὰ πόλιν (kata polin).
17 tn Grk “saying that,” but the participle λέγον (legon) is redundant in English and has not been translated.
18 tn Grk “bonds.”
19 tn Or “troubles,” “suffering.” See Acts 19:21; 21:4, 11.
20 tn BDAG 55 s.v. ἀμφότεροι 2 has “all, even when more than two are involved…Φαρισαῖοι ὁμολογοῦσιν τὰ ἀ. believe in them all 23:8.” On this belief see Josephus, J. W. 2.8.14 (2.163); Ant. 18.1.3 (18.14).
