This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
But we hoped (hēmeis de ēlpizomen). Imperfect active, we were hoping. Note emphasis in hēmeis (we).
Redeem (lutrousthai). From the bondage of Rome, no doubt.
Yea and beside all this (alla ge kai sun pāsin toutois). Particles pile up to express their emotions.
Yea (alla here affirmative, as in Luk 24:22, not adversative) at least (ge) also (kai) together with all these things (sun pāsin toutois). Like Pelion on Ossa with them in their perplexity.
Now the third day (tritēn tautēn hēmeran agei). A difficult idiom for the English. “One is keeping this a third day.” And he is still dead and we are still without hope.
