5:37 He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James. 5:38 They came to the house of the synagogue ruler where he saw noisy confusion and people weeping and wailing loudly.

tn Grk “and James,” 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.

tn Grk “and,” though such paratactic structure is rather awkward in English.

sn This group probably includes outside or even professional mourners, not just family, because a large group seems to be present.
