NETBible

He¹ immediately took² soldiers and centurions³ and ran down to the crowd.⁴ When they saw⁵ the commanding officer⁶ and the soldiers, they stopped beating⁷ Paul.

NET Notes

¹tn Grk “who.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence and the tendency of contemporary English to use shorter sentences, the relative pronoun (“who”) was translated as a pronoun (“he”) and a new sentence was begun here in the translation.

²tn Grk “taking…ran down.” The participle κατέδραμεν (katedramen) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

³sn See the note on the word centurion in 10:1.

⁴tn Grk “to them”; the referent (the crowd) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵tn Grk “seeing.” The participle ἰδόντες (idonte") has been taken temporally.

⁶tn Grk “the chiliarch” (an officer in command of a thousand soldiers). See note on the term “commanding officer” in v. 31.

⁷sn The mob stopped beating Paul because they feared the Romans would arrest them for disturbing the peace and for mob violence. They would let the Roman officials take care of the matter from this point on.
