- 60 Grk “greatly upset within him,” but the words “within him” were not included in the translation because they are redundant in English. See L&N 88.189. The term could also be rendered “infuriated.” His spirit was greatly upset. See Rom 1:18–32 for Paul’s feelings about idolatry. Yet he addressed both Jews and Gentiles with tact and reserve.
- 61 Or “when he saw.” The participle θεωροῦντος (theōrountos) has been translated as a causal adverbial participle; it could also be translated as temporal.
