¹ tn Grk “and the,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

² tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 4:5.

³ tn Grk “approaching, they seized him”; the referent (Stephen) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tn Or “the Sanhedrin” (the highest legal, legislative, and judicial body among the Jews). Stephen suffers just as Peter and John did.

⁵ tn Or “masters.”

⁶ tn On this use of ἐργασία (ergasia), see BDAG 390 s.v. 4. It is often the case that destructive practices and commerce are closely tied together.

⁷ tn Grk “was gone, seizing.” The participle ἐπιλαβόμενοι (epilabomenoi) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

⁸ tn On the term ἕλκω ({elkw) see BDAG 318 s.v. 1.

⁹ tn On this term see BDAG 545 s.v. κινέω 2.b.

¹⁰ tn Or “the people formed a mob.” BDAG 967 s.v. συνδρομή has “formation of a mob by pers. running together, running together…ἐγένετο σ. τοῦ λαοῦ the people rushed together Ac 21:30.”

¹¹ tn Grk “and seizing.” The participle ἐπιλαβόμενοι (epilabomenoi) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was begun in the translation, and καί (kai) has not been translated here.

¹² tn Grk “out of the temple.” See the note on the word “temple” in v. 28.
