Footnotes

  1. 29 Grk “by receiving authority.” The participle λαβών (labōn) has been taken instrumentally.
  2. 30 Grk “cast down a pebble against them.” L&N 30.103 states, “(an idiom, Grk ‘to bring a pebble against someone,’ a reference to a white or black pebble used in voting for or against someone) to make known one’s choice against someone—‘to vote against.’ … ‘when they were sentenced to death, I also voted against them’ Ac 26:10.”
  3. 31 Grk “when they were being executed”; but the context supports the sentencing rather than the execution itself (cf. L&N 30.103).
