Discovery BoxActs 1:16 
Context1:16 “Brothers, 1 the scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit foretold through 2 David concerning Judas – who became the guide for those who arrested Jesus –
Acts 21:33
Context21:33 Then the commanding officer 3 came up and arrested 4 him and ordered him to be tied up with two chains; 5 he 6 then asked who he was and what 7 he had done.
1 tn Grk “Men brothers.” In light of the compound phrase ἄνδρες ἀδελφοί (andre" adelfoi, “Men brothers”) Peter’s words are best understood as directly addressed to the males present, possibly referring specifically to the twelve (really ten at this point – eleven minus the speaker, Peter) mentioned by name in v. 13.
2 tn Grk “foretold by the mouth of.”
3 tn Grk “the chiliarch” (an officer in command of a thousand soldiers). See note on the term “commanding officer” in v. 31.
4 tn Grk “seized.”
5 tn The two chains would be something like handcuffs (BDAG 48 s.v. ἅλυσις and compare Acts 28:20).
6 tn Grk “and he.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was begun in the translation, and καί (kai) has been replaced with a semicolon. “Then” has been supplied after “he” to clarify the logical sequence.
7 tn Grk “and what it is”; this has been simplified to “what.”
