#1:2 up; (a-21)
#1:11 up (a-20)
 The word means 'receiving,' but with the prefix (_ana_) 'up,'
 as here, it has the active sense of 'taking up.' It is so
 translated except in 1Tim. 3.16. The more passive reception is
 seen in Acts 3.21, where another word is used.

#1:5 with (b-12)
 _En_: see Note c, Matt. 3.11.

#1:7 authority; (c-23)
#1:8 power, (c-5)
 _Exousia_; a right one possesses: 'power' is _dunamis_, see
 Note, Matt. 10.1.

#1:8 earth. (d-34)
 Or 'land:' see ch. 13.47 and Note, Matt. 5.5.

#1:9 sight. (e-21)
 Lit. 'received up from their eyes.'

#1:13 chamber, (f-15)
 As ch. 9.37,39; 20.8.

#1:16  (g-1)
 Lit. 'men brethren.' This is a Hebraism, and means no more
 than 'brethren.'

#1:18 got (a-5)
 The Greek root is used for 'having' by whatever means: see
 Matt. 10.9; Luke 18.12; and Note, Luke 21.19.

#1:20 Psalms, (b-9)
 See Ps. 69.25.

#1:20 and, (c-23)
 See Ps. 109.8.

#1:21 which (d-18)
 Or 'at every time that.'

#1:22 up (e-15)
 See Note, ver. 2.

#2:1 accomplishing, (f-9)
 It was come and running its course of fulfilment as a feast.

#2:2 blowing, (g-15)
 It is not 'wind,' but they heard blowing, as of hard
 breathing, for which the Greek is used. 'Blast' is too sudden
 and passing.

#2:6 spread, (h-7)
 Or 'this voice having taken place ' but I believe what is in
 the text to be the sense. It was what happened at the place
 which brought the crowd there: it was not the mighty rushing
 wind being heard everywhere. The end of the verse goes to
 confirm this. What struck those who came was hearing their own
 tongues: Gen. 45.16 and Jer. 50.46 are examples. The rumours of
 Jacob's coming spread to Pharaoh's house.

#2:16 Joel, (a-11)
 See Joel 2.28.

#2:20 appearing (b-18)
 Though used for 'illustrious,' 'glorious,' the Greek word has
 in it the sense of 'manifestation, appearing, displaying
 itself:' see Titus 2.11,13.

#2:20 Lord (c-22)
#2:21 Lord (c-14)
 'Jehovah;' so ver 39.

#2:22 Israel, (d-3)
 Lit. 'Men, Israelites,' as elsewhere, cf. ch. 1.16.

#2:22 to (e-14)
 'Borne witness to, to you,' is not agreeable English; but
 'approved,' in the modern use at any rate, is not the sense,
 and 'among you is feeble. The manifestation or demonstration
 was to the Jews. The witness was borne to them objectively, to
 Jesus as its subject.

#2:25 him, (f-6)
 See Ps. 16.8.

#2:26 more, (g-11)
 Lit. 'and more also.'

#2:27 hades, (h-9)
#2:31 hades (h-19)
 'in' (_eis_) hades: see Note, Matt. 11.23.

#2:27 gracious (i-15)
 Or 'holy,' _hosios_. It corresponds to the Hebrew _chasid_ =
 merciful, gracious: see Note f, ch. 13.34,35; 2Chron. 6.42; and
 Heb. 7.26.

#2:29  (k-1)
 As ch. 1.16.

#2:31 Christ, (l-11)
 Or, 'of Christ. '

#2:34 himself, (a-12)
 See Ps. 110.1.

#2:41 accepted (b-5)
 It means, 'to receive in full,' or 'with satisfaction;' or,
 as to an opinion or teaching, 'to accept and receive it as
 true:' see Note, Luke 8.40.

#2:42 teaching (c-6)
 As ch. 13.12; 1Cor. 14.26.

#2:46 temple (d-8)
#3:1 temple (d-10)
 _Hieron_, the general buildings.

#2:47 assembly] (e-16)
 See Note g, ch. 3.1.

#2:47 saved. (f-23)
 The remnant of Israel whom God was sparing. The Lord now
 added these to the Christian assembly. The present participle
 as here gives the character instead of the fact; as I might
 say, 'the being spared ones;' it is the class of persons God
 was then saving. It is not a doubt as to their being saved, nor
 a state, but a class: see Luke 13.23.

#3:1 together (g-7)
 Some omit 'to the assembly,' ch. 2.47, and link 'together'
 with the end of ch. 2. Probably we should read 'the Lord added
 together daily such as should be saved. And Peter (or, 'Now
 Peter') and John went up into the temple.'

#3:15 originator (a-3)
 This word is difficult to render in English. It is a
 'leader,' but it is more. It is used for one who begins and
 sets a matter on. The Greek word occurs four times in the New
 Testament, here and ch. 5.31; Heb. 2.10; 12.2. In Heb. 12.2 it
 means, 'he began and finished the whole course;' 'the origin'
 or 'originator,' though the word is harsh in connexion with
 life. The word is only used of our Lord.

#3:16 by (b-2)
 _Epi_: see Note, 1Cor. 1.4.

#3:21 began. (c-29)
 'Since time began' refers to 'holy prophets:' lit. 'his holy
 since-time-began prophets.'

#3:22 said, (d-3)
 See Deut. 18.15,19.

#3:25 Abraham, (e-20)
 See Gen. 22.18.

#3:26 up (f-7)
 As ver. 22; ch. 13.33.

#4:1 temple (a-15)
 _Hieron_, as ch. 3.1,8,10.

#4:2 Jesus (b-13)
 Lit. 'in Jesus.' _En_: see Matt. 3.11.

#4:2 among (c-17)
 This is a little more emphatic than usual: 'the resurrection
 which is from among [the] dead.'

#4:11 stone. (d-20)
 Lit. 'head of corner,' see Ps. 118.22.

#4:13 were (e-26)
 Or 'had been.' The council recognized them as former
 companions of Christ.

#4:17 severely (f-15)
 Lit. 'with threat.'

#4:20 refrain (g-7)
 Lit. 'cannot not speak.'

#4:24 Lord, (a-17)
 Lit. 'despot,' 'the master' of a slave; 'one having sovereign
 power,' as Luke 2.29, 1Tim. 6.1,2, 2Tim. 2.21, Tit. 2.9; 1Pet.
 2.18; 2Pet. 2.1; Jude 4; Rev. 6.10.

#4:24 God (b-21)
 Or 'thou art God,' i.e. Elohim, the One who is God.

#4:25 David, (c-10)
 See Ps. 2.1.

#5:16 who (a-23)
 Lit. 'who indeed.'

#5:17 wrath, (b-24)
 Or 'jealousy;' as 'envy,' ch. 13.45.

#5:24 priest (c-9)
 i.e. 'the high priest.'

#5:30 cross. (d-18)
 Lit. 'on wood:' used for stocks, cross, and such ignominious
 and forcible means of punishment.

#5:31  (e-1)
 Lit. 'this [one].'

#5:31 leader (f-10)
 See Note, ch. 3.15.

#5:39 lest (a-16)
 See Notes, Matt. 5.25; Mark 4.12.

#6:1 Hellenists (b-16)
 * i.e. Greek Jews.

#6:2 right (c-17)
 I apprehend that 'right,' 'proper,' is the sense; not merely
 that it did not please the apostles. 'Pleasing to God,' I
 understand, but used for man it is arbitrary.

#6:8 signs (d-12)
 Or 'great wonders and signs.'

#6:9 freedmen, (e-13)
 Some translate 'Libertines,' referring it to Libertum, a city
 in Africa.

#6:10 with (a-13)
 Or 'by' the Holy Spirit, but seen as in Stephen, that by
 which he spoke: 'which' refers grammatically to Spirit, but in
 sense to wisdom and Spirit both.

#7:3 thee. (b-24)
 See Gen. 12.1.

#7:6 thus: (c-4)
 See Gen. 15.13-16.

#7:6 them (d-19)
 Lit. 'it,' the seed.

#7:7 serve (e-25)
 _Latreuo_, as ver. 42; Matt. 4.10.

#7:14 seventy-five (f-16)
 Quoted from the LXX.

#7:17 promised (g-12)
 The Greek means 'openly saying you will give,' Matt. 14.7.
 But we have no suited word but 'promise.' It is not the same
 word as in 'the time of promise.'

#7:20 exceedingly (a-9)
 Lit. 'fair to God,' a known Hebraism.

#7:26 brethren, (b-22)
 Lit. 'ye are men, brethren,' see Note at ch. 1.16.

#7:31 [the] (c-22)
 The sentence is without the article and therefore much more
 emphatic. 'Lord' is a solemn title. The expression amounts to
 'there came an utterance of Jehovah.'

#7:32 Jacob. (d-17)
 See Ex. 3.6-10.

#7:34 it; (e-30)
 It has the sense of 'taking to or for oneself,' not merely
 deliverance as by removing the scourge, but by taking the
 people.

#7:35 saying, (f-6)
 See Ex. 2.14.

#7:37 Israel, (g-11)
 See Deut. 18.15-18.

#7:40 Aaron, (h-3)
 See Ex. 32.1.

#7:42 prophets, (a-23)
 See Amos 5.25-27.

#7:43  (b-1)
 Quoted from the LXX. 'Yea' here has the force of 'Nay, but.'

#7:45 possession (c-17)
 Lit. 'in taking possession of.'

#7:48 High (d-4)
 See Luke 1.32.

#7:48 prophet, (e-15)
 See Isa. 66.1,2.

#7:53  (f-1)
 'Who are such as.'

#7:53 ordained (g-7)
 See Gal. 3.19.

#7:59 praying, (h-5)
 Lit. 'invoking,' 'calling on,' but in English we must have a
 word after this, which mars the connexion here. The Authorized
 Version seems to separate God and the Lord Jesus. 'Calling on
 the Lord' would leave out God. The Spirit of God, I doubt not,
 has purposely left out both 'Lord' and 'God'. No one can be
 called upon really but God, so that the word has great force as
 used here. I have said 'praying' for want of a
