The Acts of the Apostles

THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES
wardlj expressed ; nothing more, however, is to be
said.
xi. 26^. yjyrjiAaTicrai—change of subject ; also the
clause depends not upon eyevero avroh, but only upon
eyevero ; neither does xi. 27 (ev Tavraii t. ^/mepaig)
refer to 26^ but to 26^ ; hence 26^ is possibly inter-
polated.
xi. 30. Presbyters in Jerusalem are here first men-
tioned without any introduction.
xiii. 2, 3. The subject of the verbs in the
passage from acpopicrare to aireXvorav is not quite
certain.
xiii. 5. eJ-^ov Se koi ''Iwdvvtjv v7njp€Tt]P comes some-
what late.
xiii. 8. It is noteworthy that a second name is
here given to the man.
xiii. 13. The abrupt introduction of " ol irep)
nayXoi/" (instead of ^apv. k. II.) loses its strange-
ness if great stress is laid on the phrase, and 13* is
taken closely together with 13^ as cause and effect

to Perga ; St. Mark left them (in consequence) and
returned to Jerusalem."" And yet this exegesis is
perhaps a little too ingenious
xiv. 1. etV T. (Tvvaycoyrjv r. "^lovSaiwv—pleonastic.
xiv. 7. KOLKci evayyeXiCpixevoL tjcaVf namely in
Lystra, Derhe and the neighbouring districts—hence
the story of the occurrence in Lystra acquires the
appearance of an appended anecdote, but there is
nothing really strange in its having been appended in
this way {vide supra^ p. 94).
xiv. 8. eKaOijTo—we must assume from verse 13
