[1] The verse reads: They kept on investigating what particular season or what sort of [season] the spirit in them was indicating concerning Christ… (NWT) The NWT reading is extremely awkward here, though it is clarified as “the spirit of Christ” in the footnote.

[2] This verse is extremely unnatural and awkward in the NWT compared to the Greek.
