Footnotes
- 105 Grk “the chiliarch” (an officer in command of a thousand soldiers). See note on the term “commanding officer” in v. .
- 106 Sometimes Roman citizenship was purchased through a bribe (Dio Cassius, Roman History 60.17.4–9). That may well have been the case here.
- 107 καί 2.b has “intensive: even … Ac 5:39; 22:28.”
- 108 The word “citizen” is supplied here for emphasis and clarity. Paul’s reference to being born a citizen suggests he inherited his Roman citizenship from his family.
- 109 Grk “Paul said.” This phrase has been placed at the end of the sentence in the translation for stylistic reasons.
