1 After ζητειτε D, Syr. Harcl. add τι θελετε; (ἤ) κ.τ.λ. looks like an anticipatory
gloss of Tis 4 αιτια.

Chrys., Tisch., Blass.
Alford thinks sing. a corrn. to suit εξηλθεν above ; but, on
the other hand, as the sing. lies between several plurals, transcriptural prob. seems
to favour it.

For use of the active in LXX, see Jer. xxxiii. (xxvi.) 2, cf. also xi. 26.— ἁγίου: only here with ἀγγέλον, express- ing the reverence of these pious men (Weiss).
Ver. 23. εἶσκ.: only used here in N.T., so µετακ. in ver. 32; both verbs are also frequent in medical writers, as Hobart urges, but both are found in classical Greek, and the latter three times in LXX, although the former not at αἷ].---ἐξένισε, recepit hospitio, Vulgate, cf. Heb. xiii. 2, and Westcott, l.c. ; verb used six times in Acts in this sense, but nowhere else in N.T.; cf. Ecclus. xxix. 25. In this Christian hospitality to Gen- tile strangers Peter had taken another step towards understanding what the will of the Lord νναβ.---τινες τῶν ἀδελφῶν = xi, 12.

Ver. 25. ὡς δὲ ἐγέν. (τοῦ) εἰσ.: for τοῦ see critical notes; ‘‘and when it came to pass that Peter entered,” R.V., i.é., into the house, see Burton, N. T. Moods and Tenses, p. 139. It may be regarded as an extension of τοῦ beyond its usual sphere, see Viteau, Le Grec du N. T., for instances in LXX, pp. 166, 170 (1893). Simcox regards the sense as much the same as in the common (and specially Lucan), ἐγένετο τὸν Π. εἰσελ- θεῖν.--προσεκύνησεν (cf. xiv. τ5): εχ- pressive of lowliest humiliation, but not of necessity involving divine worship, cf.
