Teachers of the law (nomodidaskaloi). Compound only in N.T. (here, Luk 5:17; Act 5:34) and ecclesiastical writers.
Though they understand (noountes). Concessive participle of noeō, old verb (Eph 3:4, Eph 3:20).
Neither what (mēte ha). Relative ha (which things).
Nor whereof (mēte peri tinōn). Here the interrogative tinōn used in sense of relative hōn. It may be regarded as the use of an indirect question for variety (Parry).
They confidently affirm (diabebaiountai). Present middle indicative of the common Koiné[28928]š compound, in N.T. only here and Tit 3:8.
