Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) Bound with fetters and chains.--These were not necessarily of metal. The two processes of snapping the latter by one convulsive movement and wearing away (not "breaking") the latter by friction, rather suggests the idea of ropes, or cords, as in the case of Samson (Judges 15:13). In Psalm 149:8 the "chains" seem distinguished from the "links of iron." The vivid fulness of the whole description is eminently characteristic of St. Mark's style.Parallel Commentaries ...Greek[Though]διὰ (dia)PrepositionStrong's 1223: A primary preposition denoting the channel of an act; through.heαὐτὸν (auton)Personal / Possessive Pronoun - Accusative Masculine 3rd Person SingularStrong's 846: He, she, it, they, them, same.
