NET © Notes |
1 tn Grk “There happened at that time.” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. Instead the verb “took place” has been supplied in the translation. 2 tn BDAG 512 s.v. κατά B.2.a, “in definite indications of time…Of the past: κ. ἐκεῖνον τὸν καιρόν at that time, then…Ac 12:1; 19:23.” 3 tn Grk “no little disturbance” (an idiom; see BDAG 991 s.v. τάραχος 2). 4 sn The Way refers to the Christian movement (Christianity). |
