| NET © Notes |
1 tn Grk “and sitting down we began to speak.” The participle καθίσαντες (kaqisante") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style. 2 tn The imperfect verb ἐλαλοῦμεν (elaloumen) has been translated as an ingressive imperfect. 3 sn To the women. Apparently there were not enough Jews present in Philippi to have a synagogue (ten men would have been required to have one). 4 tn The word “there” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. |
