1 tn BDAG 437 s.v. ἡμέρα 2.c has “every day” for this phrase.
2 tn Grk “in the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.
3 tn Here κατά (kata) is used as a distributive (BDAG 512 s.v. B.1.d).
4 sn The term glad (Grk “gladness”) often refers to joy brought about by God’s saving acts (Luke 1:14, 44; also the related verb in 1:47; 10:21).
5 tn Grk “with gladness and humbleness of hearts.” It is best to understand καρδίας (kardias) as an attributed genitive, with the two nouns it modifies actually listing attributes of the genitive noun which is related to them.
6 tn Grk “temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper and has been translated accordingly.
7 tn Grk “teaching and evangelizing.” They were still obeying God, not men (see 4:18-20; 5:29).

sn See the note on Christ in 2:31.
9 tn Or “declaring.”
10 tn Or “profitable.” BDAG 960 s.v. συμφέρω 2.b.α has “τὰ συμφέροντα what advances your best interests or what is good for you Ac 20:20,” but the broader meaning (s.v. 2, “to be advantageous, help, confer a benefit, be profitable/useful”) is equally possible in this context.
11 tn Or “openly.”
