Footnotes

  1. Acts 20:34 The words “to meet” are not in the Greek text but are supplied for clarity
  2. Acts 20:34 The words “the needs of” are supplied in keeping with English style to maintain the parallelism with the earlier phrase “my needs”
  3. Acts 20:35 Here “by” is supplied as a component of the participle (“working hard”) which is understood as means
  4. Acts 20:35 Perhaps an allusion to Matt 10:8; these exact words are not found in the NT gospels
