Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Act 5:35

¹ tn Grk “said to them”; the referent (the council) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² tn Or “Israelite men,” although this is less natural English. The Greek term here is ἀνήρ (anhr), which only exceptionally is used in a generic sense of both males and females. In this context, it is highly unlikely that this is a generic usage, since Gamaliel was addressing the Sanhedrin, the Jewish high council, which would have been exclusively male.

³ tn Or “men, be careful.”
