1 tn Grk “Then passing through Pisidia they came.” The participle διελθόντες (dielqonte") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

2 sn Pamphylia was a province along the southern coast of Asia Minor.

3 sn Strengthening. See Acts 14:22; 15:32; 18:23.

4 tn Although the normal meaning for παρέρχομαι (parercomai) is “pass by, go by,” it would be difficult to get to Troas from where Paul and his companions were without going through rather than around Mysia.

5 sn Mysia was a province in northwest Asia Minor.

6 sn Troas was a port city (and surrounding region) on the northwest coast of Asia Minor, near ancient Troy.
