Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
κατήντησεν & καὶ
˱he˲_arrived & also
Luke says that Paul came down to Derbe and Lystra because that was the customary way in this culture of describing a person arriving somewhere after traveling by sea.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go

Luke is using the phrase a certain disciple to introduce Timothy as a new participant in the story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: “there was a disciple there named Timothy”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐκεῖ
there
By there, Luke means the city of Lystra. You can include this information if your readers need it to understand the sentence. Alternate translation: “in Lystra”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
γυναικὸς Ἰουδαίας πιστῆς
˱of˲_/a/_woman Jewish believing
By believing, Luke means believing in Jesus. You can include this information if your readers need it to understand the sentence. Alternate translation: “a Jewish woman who believed in Jesus”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
πατρὸς δὲ Ἕλληνος
