Footnotes

  1. 125 Grk “the chiliarch” (an officer in command of a thousand soldiers). See note on the term “commanding officer” in v. .
  2. 126 Grk “seized.”
  3. 127 The two chains would be something like handcuffs ( ἅλυσις and compare Acts 28:20).
  4. 128 Grk “and he.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was begun in the translation, and καί (kai) has been replaced with a semicolon. “Then” has been supplied after “he” to clarify the logical sequence.
  5. 129 Grk “and what it is”; this has been simplified to “what.”
