NETBible

NET Notes

¹tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

²sn Which…persecute. The rhetorical question suggests they persecuted them all.

³tn Grk “And they.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

⁴sn The Righteous One is a reference to Jesus Christ.

⁵sn Whose betrayers and murderers you have now become. The harsh critique has OT precedent (1 Kgs 19:10-14; Neh 9:26; 2 Chr 36:16).
