translationNotes

  • But - Luke contrasts those who believe "salvation is only in Jesus" to some men from the Pharisees who believed in Jesus yet believe "circumcision is required for salvation."
  • to circumcise them and to command them - "them" refers to non-Jewish believers who were not previously circumcised.
  • to keep the law - "to obey the law" or "to follow the law"
  • to consider this matter - "to discuss the difference in beliefs". That is, to debate the different salvation messages between Paul's gospel (salvation in Jesus) and the Pharisee's gospel (salvation in circumcision and law).
