Notes:
(1) In Acts 22:2,
KJV
,
, “to afford, give, cause,” is rendered “kept (the
more silence),”
RV
, “were (the more quiet).” (2) In Matt. 14:6 some mss. have the verb
, “to lead, hold” (of a feast), of “keeping” Herod’s birthday; the most authentic have
, “to become, take place”; hence the
RV
, “when Herod’s birthday came.” The
verb
is used in Acts 19:38 of “keeping” certain occasions, as of the holding of law

RV

, “keep”). (6) In Acts 20:20,
$

translated “I shrank (not)” (middle voice),
RV
,
KJV
, “I kept back (nothing).” (7) In Acts
27:43,
$
, “to hinder,” is translated “stayed (them from),”
RV
,
