Acts 21:33

Context
21:33 Then the commanding officer 1  came up and arrested 2  him and ordered him to be tied up with two chains; 3  he 4  then asked who he was and what 5  he had done.

1 tn Grk “the chiliarch” (an officer in command of a thousand soldiers). See note on the term “commanding officer” in v. 31.

2 tn Grk “seized.”

3 tn The two chains would be something like handcuffs (BDAG 48 s.v. ἅλυσις and compare Acts 28:20).

4 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.

5 tn Grk “and what it is”; this has been simplified to “what.”
