Footnotes

  1. 57 Or “captain.”
  2. 58 Grk “the official of the temple,” a title for the commander of the Jewish soldiers guarding the temple (thus the translation, “the commander of the temple guard”). See L&N 37.91.
  3. 59 Grk “heard these words.”
  4. 60 Grk “concerning them,” agreeing with the plural antecedent “these words.” Since the phrase “these words” was translated as the singular “this report,” the singular “concerning it” is used here.
  5. 61 The optative verb here expresses confused uncertainty.
