The Romans ruled over the Jews. Alternate translation: "who would free the Israelites from our Roman enemies" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
The Jews counted any portion of a day as a day. Therefore, the day Jesus was raised was the "third day" because it followed the day of his burial and the Sabbath day. See how you translated this in [Luke 24:7](./07.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-ordinal]])
