NET © Notes |
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. |
