Footnotes
- 54 Grk “ethnarch.” The governor was an official called an ethnarch who was appointed to rule over a particular area or constituency on behalf of a king.
- 55 Grk “the city of the Damascenes.”
- 56 Or “to seize,” “to catch.”
- 57 In Acts 9:25 the same basket used in Paul’s escape is called a σπυρίς (spuris), a basket larger than a κόφινος (kophinos). It was very likely made out of rope, so the translation “rope-basket” is used.
