21. Formal Translation After threatening them again, they let them go, since they found no way to punish them because of the people; for everyone was glorifying God {Theos, Praiseworthy Sovereign} for what had happened. |
21. Dynamic Translation They added further threats and then released them, because they could not find any grounds to punish them in view of the crowd; everyone was praising God {Theos, Compassionate Healer} for what had taken place. |
