Romans 14:3-4

14:3 The one who eats everything must not despise the one who does not, and the one who abstains must not judge the one who eats everything, for God has accepted him. 14:4 Who are you to pass judgment on another’s servant? Before his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord ¹  is able to make him stand.

Luke 23:11

23:11 Even Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him. Then, ²  dressing him in elegant clothes, ³  Herod ⁴  sent him back to Pilate.

Acts 4:11

4:11 This Jesus ⁵  is the stone that was rejected by you, ⁶  the builders, that has become the cornerstone. ⁷ 

¹ tc Most mss, especially Western and Byzantine (D F G 048 33 1739 1881 Ï latt), read θεός (qeos, “God”) in place of κύριος (kurios, “Lord”) here. However, κύριος is found in many of the most important mss (Ì⁴⁶ א A B C P Ψ pc co), and θεός looks to be an assimilation to θεός in v. 3.

² tn This is a continuation of the previous Greek sentence, but because of its length and complexity, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying “then” to indicate the sequence of events.

³ sn This mockery involved putting elegant royal clothes on Jesus, either white or purple (the colors of royalty). This was no doubt a mockery of Jesus’ claim to be a king.

⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Herod) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵ tn Grk “This one”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁶ tn The word “you” is inserted into the quotation because Peter is making a direct application of Ps 118:22 to his hearers. Because it is not in the OT, it has been left as normal type (rather than bold italic). The remarks are like Acts 2:22-24 and 3:12-15.

⁷ sn A quotation from Ps 118:22 which combines the theme of rejection with the theme of God’s vindication/exaltation.
