Footnotes
- 120 Or “Some of the crowd gave instructions to.”
- 121 The words “it was about” are not in the Greek text but are implied; Ἀλέξανδρον (Alexandron) is taken to be an accusative of general reference.
- 122 προβάλλω 1 has “to cause to come forward, put forward … τινά someone … push someone forward to speak in the theater … Ac 19:33.”
- 123 Or “motioning.”
- 124 The nature of Alexander’s defense is not clear. It appears he was going to explain, as a Jew, that the problem was not caused by Jews, but by those of “the Way.” However, he never got a chance to speak.
- 125 Or “before the crowd.” According to δῆμος 2, “in a Hellenistic city, a convocation of citizens called together for the purpose of transacting official business, popular assembly … ἀπολογεῖσθαι τῷ δ. make a defense before the assembly vs. 33.”
