Note 3 topic: translate-names

Ἰούδαν τὸν καλούμενον Βαρσαββᾶν

Judas ¬which ˓being˒_called Barsabbas

The words Judas and Barsabbas are the names of men. Barsabbas was another name by which Judas was known. Barsabbas is probably a patronymic, that is, an indication of who his father was. If your language and culture identify people by patronymics, it may be helpful to translate this name as “the son of Sabbas,” as UST does. See how you translated this same name for another man in [1:23](../01/23.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

˱to˲_the the the brothers

Luke is using the term brothers to mean people who share the same faith. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the members of the church]
