Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) Laid down their own necks.--Whether this expression is to be taken literally or figuratively we do not know, neither can we do more than guess at the event to which it refers. It may have something to do with the tumult at Ephesus, and with that "fighting with beasts" mentioned in 1Corinthians 15:32.Parallel Commentaries ...Greekwhoοἵτινες (hoitines)Personal / Relative Pronoun - Nominative Masculine PluralStrong's 3748: Whosoever, whichsoever, whatsoever. have riskedὑπέθηκαν (hypethēkan)Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person PluralStrong's 5294: To put under, lay down, suggest to, put in mind.
