Footnotes
- 4 Or “crippled.”
- 5 Grk “from his mother’s womb.”
- 6 ἡμέρα 2.c has “every day” for this phrase.
- 7 Grk “alms.” The term “alms” is not in common use today, so what the man expected, “money,” is used in the translation instead. The idea is that of money given as a gift to someone who was poor. Giving alms was viewed as honorable in Judaism (Tob 1:3, 16; 12:8–9; Pe’ah 1:1). See also Luke 11:41; 12:33; Acts 9:36; 10:2, 4, 31; 24:17.
- 8 Grk “the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly. Into the temple courts. The exact location of this incident is debated. The ‘Beautiful Gate’ referred either to the Nicanor Gate (which led from the Court of the Gentiles into the Court of Women) or the Shushan Gate at the eastern wall.
