Acts 10:41
Context10:41 not by all the people, but by us, the witnesses God had already chosen, 4 who ate and drank 5 with him after he rose from the dead.
1 sn See the note on Sadducees in 4:1.
2 sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.
3 sn Filled with jealousy. In Acts, the term “jealousy” (ζήλος, zhlos) occurs only here and in Acts 13:45. It is a key term in Judaism for religiously motivated rage (1 Macc 2:24; 1QH 14:13-15; m. Sanhedrin 9:5). It was a zeal motivated by a desire to maintain the purity of the faith.
4 tn Or “the witnesses God had previously chosen.” See Acts 1:8.
5 sn Ate and drank. See Luke 24:35-49.
