1:2 up; (a-21) 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 [1 Timothy 3:16](../../../kjv/1-timothy/3/16) . The more passive reception is seen in [Acts 3:21](../../../kjv/acts/3/21) , where another word is used.

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.
