Footnotes

89 ἔχω 11.b.β has “temporal, to be next, immediately following … τῇ ἐχομένῃ … on the next day Lk 13:33 … Ac 20:15; ἡμέρᾳ added … 21:26.”
90 That is, after he had undergone ritual cleansing. The aorist passive participle ἁγνισθείς (hagnistheis) has been taken temporally of antecedent action.
91 Grk “entered the temple, giving notice.” The participle διαγγέλλων (diangellōn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
92 The days of purification refers to the days of ritual cleansing.
93 Grk “until” ( ἕως 1.b.β.א), but since in English it is somewhat awkward to say “the completion of the days of purification, until the sacrifice would be offered,” the temporal clause was translated “when the sacrifice would be offered.” The point is that the sacrifice would be offered when the days were completed. Paul honored the request of the Jewish Christian leadership completely. As the following verse makes clear, the vow was made for seven days.
94 Grk “for each one.”
95 συντελέω 4 has “to come to an end of a duration, come to an end, be over … Ac 21:27.”
96 Grk “Asia”; in the NT this always refers to the Roman province of Asia, made up of about one-third of the west and southwest end of modern Asia Minor. Asia lay to the west of the region of Phrygia and Galatia. The words “the province of” are supplied to indicate to the modern reader that this does not refer to the continent of Asia. Note how there is a sense of Paul being pursued from a distance. These Jews may well have been from Ephesus, since they recognized Trophimus the Ephesian (v. 29).
97 Grk “in the temple.” See the note on the word “temple” in v. .
98 Or “threw the whole crowd into consternation.” L&N 25.221 has “συνέχεον πάντα τὸν ὅχλον ‘they threw the whole crowd into consternation’ Ac 21:27. It is also possible to render the expression in Ac 21:27 as ‘they stirred up the whole crowd.’ ”
99 Grk “and laid hands on.”
