218 THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES<br />

xi. 15. Weiss finds a discrepancy between ev tw<br />

ap^acrOai /xe XaXeiv and en XaXovi^rog tov Tlerpov<br />

(x. 44)<br />

; I cannot allow that this is so.<br />

xi. 15. Weiss writes : " ex' avTov^ refers to <strong>the</strong><br />

avSpe^ aKpo/Bucrrlav cyovre^s in verse 3, however im-<br />

possible this may be grammatically " ; but it really<br />

refers to verse 14 {crv kol ira^ 6 oJko? arou), so that all<br />

is in order.<br />

xi. 17. Weiss here discovers a case <strong>of</strong> discrepancy<br />

with X. 47, but I cannot see it.<br />

xi. 18. Weiss raises <strong>the</strong> point that /xerai/om is<br />

never mentioned in chapter x. ; it was not, however,<br />

necessary to mention it. In spite <strong>of</strong> this, in giving a<br />

summary <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> events <strong>of</strong> chapter x., it was not out<br />

<strong>of</strong> place to speak <strong>of</strong> ^ /meravoLa e/? ^corjv.<br />

xii. 3. ^(rav Se ^/nipai r. a'^yjuLcov. A paren<strong>the</strong>sis;<br />

but ov Kai Trmo-a? (verse 4) coming after avWa/Seti/<br />

(verse 3) is tautologous ; it <strong>the</strong>refore appears that an<br />

editor has been at work here.<br />

xii. 6. ore Se tj/meXXev irpoayayeiv after jSouXo/uLevog<br />

avayayeiv avTOv (verse 4) is tautologous, and r^ vvkti<br />

€K€ivr] <strong>of</strong> verse 6^ does not fit in well with 6*. It<br />

seems <strong>the</strong>refore that 6* originally followed verse 4,<br />

and that <strong>the</strong> night in question was <strong>the</strong> first which<br />

St. Peter spent in prison (Weiss), while <strong>the</strong> editor<br />

treated it as <strong>the</strong> last night before <strong>the</strong> intended<br />

execution.<br />

xii. 17. Weiss thinks that <strong>the</strong> command to tell<br />

<strong>the</strong> brethren is discrepant with <strong>the</strong> purport <strong>of</strong> verses<br />

5 and 12^<br />

xii. 17. etV erepov tottov—very strange; <strong>the</strong><br />

narrator must surely have known <strong>the</strong> place.
