The Acts of the Apostles

210 THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES
xxiii. 30^ is not covered by the previous narrative.
xxiii. 33. olrive^—a strange change of subject.
xxiv. 5. evpovre^—anacoluthon ; it is followed
by no principal verb.
xxiv. 17 is not covered by the earlier narrative.
xxiv. 18. The syntax of the clause : rivh Se airo
rrj^ 'Ao-m? ^lov^aioL is incorrect.
xxiv. 22. It is very strange that here a more
accurate knowledge of the Christian movement is
ascribed to Felix (aKpi^ea-repop elS^g to, irepl t^?
oSov). Was it derived from his wife Drusilla ? Or
does et^co? here mean " noting,"" and is aKpi/SecrTepov
to be understood as superlative ?
xxiv. 22^. This promise is strangely never ful-
filled.
xxiv. 23. Koi jULrjSeva KcoXveiv—strange change of
subject.
xxiv. 24-27. St. Paul's situation as here described
is less favourable than we should have judged from
the preceding verses (22, 23), but there is no real dis-
crepancy here.
XXV. 4. 6 /mev ovv without a following Se.
XXV. 16. Festus does not give a correct report of
the wish of the Jewish authorities.
XXV. 21. T. ^e TLauXov eTriKoXecra/jLevov TtjprjOijvai
avTov—grammatically incorrect.
XXV. 24. TO TrXrjOog eveTv^ov—incorrect.
xxvi. 4. No ^e follows the yueV.
xxvi. 14. Discrepancy with ix. 7 {elaTi^Keiaav).
xxvi. 16. In distinction from the previous accounts
St. Paul is here at once appointed a missionary to
the Gentiles.
