Footnotes
- 95 Grk “he was hoping that money would be given to him by Paul.” To simplify the translation, the passive construction has been converted to an active one. Would give him money. That is, would offer him a bribe in exchange for his release. Such practices were fairly common among Roman officials of the period (Josephus, 2.12.3 [2.272–274]).
- 96 Grk “him”; the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 97 “As often as possible” reflects the comparative form of the adjective πυκνός (puknos); see BDAG 897 πυκνός, which has “Neut. of the comp. πυκνότερον as adv. more often, more frequently and in an elative sense very often, quite frequently … also as often as possible … Ac 24:26.”
- 98 On this term, which could mean “conferred with him,” see ὁμιλέω.
