Footnotes

1. Acts 2:23 tn Or “you killed.”
2. Acts 2:23 tn Grk “at the hands of lawless men.” At this point the term ἄνομος (anomos) refers to non-Jews who live outside the Jewish (Mosaic) law, rather than people who broke any or all laws including secular laws. Specifically it is a reference to the Roman soldiers who carried out Jesus’ crucifixion.
3. Acts 2:24 tn Grk “Whom God raised up.”
4. Acts 2:24 tn Or “having freed.”
5. Acts 2:24 sn The term translated pains is frequently used to describe pains associated with giving birth (see Rev 12:2). So there is irony here in the mixed metaphor.
6. Acts 2:24 tn Or “for him to be held by it” (in either case, “it” refers to death’s power).
7. Acts 2:25 tn Or “always before me.”
