6 sn Unclean spirits refers to evil spirits.
7 tn Literally a relative pronoun, “who.” In English, however, a relative clause (“bringing the sick and those troubled by unclean spirits, who were all being healed”) could be understood to refer only to the second group (meaning only those troubled by unclean spirits were being healed) or even that the unclean spirits were being healed. To avoid this ambiguity the pronoun “they” was used to begin a new English sentence.
8 sn They were all being healed. Note how the healings that the apostles provided were comprehensive in their consistency.
9 sn The expression unclean spirits refers to evil supernatural spirits which were ceremonially unclean, and which caused the persons possessed by them to be ceremonially unclean.
10 tn Grk “For [in the case of] many who had unclean spirits, they were coming out, crying in a loud voice.”
11 tn Grk “speaking, who.” The relative pronoun has been replaced by the noun “Paul,” and a new sentence begun in the translation because an English relative clause would be very awkward here.
12 tn Or “looked.”
