1 tn BDAG 826 s.v. πλήν 1.d has “πλὴν ὅτι except that…Ac 20:23.” 2 tn The verb διαμαρτύρομαι (diamarturomai) can mean “warn” (BDAG 233 s.v. διαμαρτύρομαι 2 has “solemnly urge, exhort, warn…w. dat. of pers. addressed”), and this meaning better fits the context here, although BDAG categorizes Acts 20:23 under the meaning “testify of, bear witness to” (s.v. 1). 3 tn The Greek text here reads κατὰ πόλιν (kata polin). 4 tn Grk “saying that,” but the participle λέγον (legon) is redundant in English and has not been translated. 5 tn Grk “bonds.” 6 tn Or “troubles,” “suffering.” See Acts 19:21; 21:4, 11. |
