passive articular participle of \diatass•\. {By night} (\dia
nuktos\). Through the night, travelling by night forty miles from
Jerusalem to Antipatris which was founded by Herod the Great and
was on the road from Jerusalem to Caesarea, a hard night's ride.
23:33 {And they} (\hoitines\). Which very ones, the cavalry, the
horsemen of verse 31. {Delivered} (\anadontes\). Second aorist
active participle of \anadid•mi\, old verb to give up, to hand
over, here only in the N.T. {Presented Paul also} (\parest•san
kai ton Paulon\). First aorist active (transitive, not second
aorist intransitive) indicative of \parist•mi\, common verb to

participle of \anagin•sk•\, to know again, to read. {Of what
province he was} (\ek poias eparcheias estin\). Tense of \estin\

kind of" province, whether senatorial or imperial. Cilicia, like

word meant the camp of the general, then the palace of the
governor as here and Mt 27:27 which see, and then the camp of
praetorian soldiers or rather the praetorian guard as in Php
1:13.
