Footnotes
- 64 Or “captain.”
- 65 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.
- 66 The Greek term ὑπηρέτης (hupēretēs) generally means “servant,” but in the NT is used for many different types of servants. See the note on the word “officers” in v. .
- 67 Grk “brought them”; the referent (the apostles) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 68 Or “without violence.” It is clear, as well, that the apostles did not resist arrest.
- 69 Grk “for they feared lest they be stoned by the people.” The translation uses a less awkward English equivalent. This is an explanatory note by the author.
