Footnotes

  1. 53 See the note on the word centurion in .
  2. 54 Or “just.”
  3. 55 The phrase τοῦ ἔθνους τῶν Ἰουδαίων (tou ethnous tōn Ioudaiōn) is virtually a technical term for the Jewish nation (1 Macc 10:25; 11:30, 33; Josephus, 14.10.22 [14.248]). “All the Jewish people,” while another possible translation of the Greek phrase, does not convey the technical sense of a reference to the nation in English. The long introduction of Cornelius by his messengers is an attempt to commend this Gentile to his Jewish counterpart, which would normally be important to do in the culture of the time.
  4. 56 Grk “hear words.”
