NET Notes

¹tn Or “captain.”

²tn Grk “the official [of the temple],” a title for the commander of the Jewish soldiers guarding the temple (thus the translation, “the commander of the temple guard”). See L&N 37.91.

³tn The Greek term ὑπηρέτης (Juphreth") generally means “servant,” but in the NT is used for many different types of servants. See the note on the word “officers” in v. 22.

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

⁵tn Or “without violence.” It is clear, as well, that the apostles did not resist arrest.

⁶tn Grk “for they feared lest they be stoned by the people.” The translation uses a less awkward English equivalent. This is an explanatory note by the author.
