Footnotes

1 Ananias was in office from a.d. 47–59.
2 The term refers to a professional advocate ( ῥήτωρ).
3 Grk “an attorney, a certain Tertullus.”
4 Grk “who” (plural). Because in English the relative pronoun “who” could be understood to refer only to the attorney Tertullus and not to the entire group, it has been replaced with the third person plural pronoun “they.” “And” has been supplied to provide the connection to the preceding clause.
5 ἐμφανίζω 3 has “ἐ. τινὶ κατά τινος bring formal charges against someone … Ac 24:1; 25:2.”
