Acts 5:24

Context
5:24 Now when the commander 1  of the temple guard 2  and the chief priests heard this report, 3  they were greatly puzzled concerning it, 4  wondering what this could 5  be.

1 tn Or “captain.”

2 tn 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.

3 tn Grk “heard these words.”

4 tn Grk “concerning them,” agreeing with the plural antecedent “these words.” Since the phrase “these words” was translated as the singular “this report,” the singular “concerning it” is used here.

5 tn The optative verb here expresses confused uncertainty.
