ContextNETBible | When they heard this, they entered the temple courts 1 at daybreak and began teaching. 2 Now when the high priest and those who were with him arrived, they summoned the Sanhedrin 3 – that is, the whole high council 4 of the Israelites 5 – and sent to the jail to have the apostles 6 brought before them. 7 |

NET © Notes |
1 tn Grk “the temple.” See the note on the same phrase in the preceding verse. 2 tn The imperfect verb ἐδίδασκον (edidaskon) has been translated as an ingressive imperfect. 3 tn Or “the council” (the highest legal, legislative, and judicial body among the Jews). 4 tn A hendiadys (two different terms referring to a single thing) is likely here (a reference to a single legislative body rather than two separate ones) because the term γερουσίαν (gerousian) is used in both 1 Macc 12:6 and Josephus, Ant. 13.5.8 (13.166) to refer to the Sanhedrin. 5 tn Grk “sons of Israel.” 6 tn Grk “have them”; the referent (the apostles) has been specified in the translation for clarity. 7 tn The words “before them” are not in the Greek text but are implied. |
