1 Petrus 2:23

2:23 When he was maligned, he ⁶  did not answer back; when he suffered, he threatened ⁷  no retaliation, ⁸  but committed himself to God ⁹  who judges justly.

[14:61]  ¹ tn Grk “questioned him and said to him.”

[14:1]  ³ tn Or “the chief priests and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22.

[14:1]  ⁵ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:23]  ⁸ sn An allusion to Isa 53:7.
