translationNotes
- when they arrived - "When Paul and Barnabas arrived"
- God had done with them - "God had done through Paul and Barnabas"
- How he had - "How God had"
- he had opened a door of faith for the gentiles - This metaphor can be translated as “God had made a way for the gentiles to believe,” or “God had made it possible for the gentiles to believe” or “God had given the Gentiles the opportunity to believe.” Just as a person cannot go through a closed door unless someone opens it, the gentiles could not have faith in God unless God made it possible. (See: en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor)
- They stayed - "Paul and Barnabas stayed"
