Footnotes

  1. 95 συντελέω 4 has “to come to an end of a duration, come to an end, be over … Ac 21:27.”
  2. 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).
  3. 97 Grk “in the temple.” See the note on the word “temple” in v. .
  4. 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.’ ”
  5. 99 Grk “and laid hands on.”
