Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Act 6:12

¹ tn Grk “and the,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

² tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 4:5.

³ tn Grk “approaching, they seized him”; the referent (Stephen) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tn Or “the Sanhedrin” (the highest legal, legislative, and judicial body among the Jews). Stephen suffers just as Peter and John did.
