1 tn Grk “they”; the referents (Paul and Barnabas) have been specified in the translation for clarity.
2 tn Grk “learning about it, fled.” The participle συνιδόντες (sunidonte") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. It could also be taken temporally (“when they learned about it”) as long as opening clause of v. 5 is not translated as a temporal clause too, which results in a redundancy.
3 sn Lystra was a city in Lycaonia about 18 mi (30 km) south of Iconium, a Roman colony that was not on the main roads of Lycaonia. Because of its relative isolation, its local character was able to be preserved.

4 sn Derbe was a city in Lycaonia about 35 mi (60 km) southeast of Lystra.
map For location see JP1 E2; JP2 E2; JP3 E2.
5 tn Grk “and entered”; the word “back” is not in the Greek text but is implied.
6 tn Grk “And on.” 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.
7 sn Derbe was a city in Lycaonia about 35 mi (60 km) southeast of Lystra. This was the easternmost point of the journey.
