2. 86 This question uses a Greek particle (οὐχί, ouchi) that expects a positive reply.
3. 87 This is a collective singular use of the term καρδία (kardia), so each of their hearts were burning, a reference itself to the intense emotion of their response.

Even though it is most likely not original (see note above), the phrase within us has been included in the translation for clarity.
5. 89 Grk “opening” (cf. Acts 17:3).
