But we hoped that it was he who should redeem Israel. Yea and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things came to pass.

But we were hoping that he would be the Saviour of Israel. In addition to all this he has now let three days go by from the time when these things took place;

ημεις δε ηλπιζομεν οτι αυτος ειναι ο μελλων να λυτρωση τον Ισραηλ· αλλα και προς τουτοις πασι τριτη ημερα ειναι σημερον αυτη, αφου εγειναν ταυτα.

But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
