Footnotes
- 100 Grk “fearing.” The participle φοβούμενοι (phoboumenoi) has been translated as a causal adverbial participle.
- 101 Grk “against a rough [rocky] place.” L&N 79.84 has “φοβούμενοί τε μή που κατὰ τραχεῖς τόποις ἐκπέσωμεν ‘we were afraid that we would run aground on the rocky coast’ Ac 27:29.”
- 102 Grk “throwing out … they.” The participle ῥίψαντες (rhipsantes) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.
- 103 εὔχομαι 2 states, “wish … τὶ for someth.… Foll. by and inf.… Ac 27:29.” The other possible meaning for this term, “pray,” is given in 1 and employed by a number of translations (, , ). If this meaning is adopted here, then “prayed for day to come” must be understood metaphorically to mean “prayed that they would live to see the day,” or “prayed that it would soon be day.”
- 104 Grk “and wished for day to come about.” And wished for day to appear. The sailors were hoping to hold the ship in place until morning, when they could see what was happening and where they were.
