Footnotes

  1. Acts 12:5 tn Or “constantly.” This term also appears in Luke 22:14 and Acts 26:7.
  2. Acts 12:5 tn Grk “but earnest prayer was being made by the church to God for him.” The order of the clauses has been rearranged to follow English style, and the somewhat awkward passive “prayer was being made” has been changed to the simpler active verb “were praying.” Luke portrays what follows as an answer to prayer.
