NET Notes |
1 tn Grk “heard they”; the referents (Paul and Silas) have been specified in the translation for clarity. 2 sn Roman citizens. This fact was disturbing to the officials because due process was a right for a Roman citizen, well established in Roman law. To flog a Roman citizen was considered an abomination. Such punishment was reserved for noncitizens. |
