Footnotes

  1. 58 Grk “who when.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the relative pronoun (“who”) has been replaced by the personal pronoun (“they”) and a new sentence begun at this point in the translation.
  2. 59 Or “had questioned me”; or “had examined me.” ἀνακρίνω 2 states, “to conduct a judicial hearing, hear a case, question.”
  3. 60 They wanted to release me. See Acts 25:23–27.
  4. 61 Grk “no basis for death,” but in this context a sentence of death is clearly indicated.
