1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context. 2 tn On the term αὐλήν (aulhn) BDAG 150 s.v. αὐλή 1 states, “(outer) court of the temple…Rv 11:2.” 3 tn The precise meaning of the phrase ἔκβαλε ἔξωθεν (ekbale exwqen) is difficult to determine. 4 tn Or “to the nations” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”). 5 sn The holy city appears to be a reference to Jerusalem. See also Luke 21:24. |
