The Acts of the Apostles

212 THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES
i. 17-20. Here it has been supposed that there is
confusion between the apostolic ofRce of Judas and
the plot of land which he had purchased (Weiss)
the eiravXig of verse 20 is supposed to refer to the
plot of land.
i. 22. The words ap^djuLevo? to ^julcov are subject to
exception both in form and meaning (Wellhausen)
Weiss extends this criticism also to verse 21 (from
€v TravTL onwards).
i. 24. It is strange that all the brethren together
say what follows.
i. 26. iJiera twv evScKa aTroa-ToXcov is strange
seeing that elsewhere in the book not much stress
is laid upon the number " twelve " of the Apostles.
ii. 1. It is not clear whether the day of Pentecost
itself is meant or only its approach.
ii. 1. o/uLov with ro avro is superfluous; we are
left in doubt where they were met together.
ii. 4 ff.
It is doubtful whether a miracle of speech
or hearing is intended, or (verses 12, 13) simply ecstatic
speech (" speaking with tongues "").
ii. 4. Traj/re?—in ii. 1 -Travreg means all the Chris-
tians, so it must also here ; but already in ii. 7 only
the " Twelve "^ seem to be comprehended under Travreg,
and this seems to be confirmed by verses 14 and 15
{ovTOi = OL evSeKo).
ii. 5/. According to what is here said only the
Jews of the Dispersion living in Jerusalem seem to
have gathered together; where then are the natives
of Jerusalem (yet see verse 14), and how came it that
this outpouring of the Spirit was noised abroad in the
city?
