⁴ tn Grk “the Sanhedrin” (the Sanhedrin was the highest legal, legislative, and judicial body among the Jews).

⁵ tn Grk “the chiliarch” (an officer in command of a thousand soldiers). See note on the term “commanding officer” in v. 10.

⁸ tn The expression “more thorough inquiry” reflects the comparative form of ἀκριβέστερον (akribesteron).
