Luke 1:10

Now ¹  the whole crowd ²  of people were praying outside at the hour of the incense offering. ³ 

Le 16:17; Heb 4:14; Heb 9:24; Re 8:3

¹ tn Grk “And,” but “now” better represents the somewhat parenthetical nature of this statement in the flow of the narrative.

² tn Grk “all the multitude.” While “assembly” is sometimes used here to translate πλῆθος (plhqo"), that term usually implies in English a specific or particular group of people. However, this was simply a large group gathered outside, which was not unusual, especially for the afternoon offering.

³ tn The “hour of the incense offering” is another way to refer to the time of sacrifice.
