This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
3. ἀκούσας περὶ Ἰησοῦ. ‘Having heard about Jesus.’
πρεσβυτέρους. ‘Elders’ (Zekânim), with no article. These ‘elders’ were doubtless some of the ten functionaries, whom the Jews also called parnasim, ‘shepherds.’ Their functions were not in any respect sacerdotal, and they were of lower rank than the ἀρχισυνάγωγοι.
διασώσῃ. ‘Would save from death’ (not heal as in A.V[156]).
[156] A.V. Authorised Version.
