NET Notes

¹sn See the note on the word centurion in 10:1.

²tn Grk “that he was to be guarded.” The passive construction (τηρεῖσθαι, threisqai) has been converted to an active one in parallel with the following clauses, and the referent (Paul) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³tn BDAG 77 s.v. ἄνεσις 1 states, “lit. relaxation of custodial control, some liberty, ἀ. ἔχειν have some freedom Ac 24:23.”

⁴tn Grk “any of his own” (this could also refer to relatives).

⁵tn Grk “from serving him.”
