TSNTyndale Study Notes:

14:22-23 The apostles were diligent in following up with those who had made a Christian profession of faith. These new disciples needed to be nurtured, supported, and encouraged (15:32, 41; 16:40; 18:23; see 1 Thes 3:2; 4:18; 5:14).

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

χειροτονήσαντες & παρέθεντο & πεπιστεύκεισαν

/having/_chosen & ˱they˲_entrusted & ˱they˲_/had/_believed

The pronoun them refers to the new believers in the cities of Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, and the pronoun they refer to Paul and Barnabas. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “for the new believers in these cities … Paul and Barnabas entrusted these believers”

κατ’ ἐκκλησίαν

in assembly

Alternate translation: “in each new group of believers”

Note 2 topic: writing-politeness

τῷ Κυρίῳ

˱to˲_the Lord

Luke is referring to Jesus by a respectful title. Use a form for addressing someone respectfully in your language. Alternate translation: “to the Lord Jesus”
