13:1 prophets and teachers: See “The Gift of Prophecy” Theme Note; see also 1 Cor 12:28-29; Eph 4:11.
• The name Simeon suggests a Jewish background (see Gen 29:33; Luke 2:25; 3:30); he is also called “the black man”—he was probably of African descent.
• Lucius is a Latin name; he came from Cyrene, the capital of Libya in North Africa. He was probably one of the preachers from Cyrene who had brought the Christian message to Antioch (Acts 11:20).
• Manaen had been brought up with King Herod Antipas; he was probably Luke’s source for insight into Antipas’s thoughts and actions (see Luke 9:7-9).
• Barnabas and Saul are prominently featured in the subsequent narrative.
Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
δὲ
and
Luke is using the word translated Now to introduce a new event in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.
Note 2 topic: translate-names
Συμεὼν ὁ καλούμενος Νίγερ
Simeon who /being/_called Niger
The word Simeon is the name of a man. The word Niger is another name by which he was known. This is not a racial epithet; it is the Latin word for “black,” and it probably indicates that he was African. Alternate translation: “Simeon the African”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
Συμεὼν ὁ καλούμενος Νίγερ
Simeon who /being/_called Niger
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Simeon, whom people called Niger”
Note 4 topic: translate-names
Μαναήν
Manaen
The word Manaen is the name of a man.
Note 5 topic: translate-names
Λούκιος ὁ Κυρηναῖος
Lucius the Cyrenian
The word Lucius is the name of a man. The word Cyrenian is the name for someone who comes from the city of Cyrene. See how you translated it in 11:20.
Note 6 topic: translate-unknown
σύντροφος
raised_with
In this culture, rulers would sometimes bring the children of other parents into their homes to be raised and educated with their own children. This gave their children playmates and friends, and it was also a way of honoring or thanking the parents of the other children. A boy who was raised with the son of a ruler would be considered the foster brother of that son. There may be a similar role in your culture, and your language may have a term for it that you can use in your translation. You could also explain the meaning of the term “foster brother,” as UST does. Alternate translation: “the childhood playmate” or “the boyhood friend”
Note 7 topic: translate-unknown
Ἡρῴδου τοῦ τετράρχου
˱of˲_Herod ˱of˲_the tetrarch
In the Roman Empire, a tetrarch was the governor of one of four divisions of a country or province. Herod the tetrarch ruled over Galilee, one of four areas that the kingdom of his father, Herod the Great, was divided into after his death. (The Herod described in Chapter 12 was a different man, the grandson of Herod the Great and the nephew of Herod the tetrarch.) If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a general term instead of “tetrarch.” Alternate translation: “the ruler Herod”
