Ver. 29. ὡς δὲ ἐτέλεσαν ἅπαντα: St. Paul was evidently acquainted with the details of the Passion as well as with the main facts of the death and burial, cf 1 Cor. xi. 23; and for the verb used here Luke xviii. 31, xxii. 37, John xix. 28, 30; only here in Acts. Weiss regards the subject of ἐτέλ., καθέλ., ἔθηκαν as pre- supposed as known in accordance with the Gospel history, but St. Paul may have been speaking in general terms of the action of the Jews, although not the enemies of Christ but His friends actually took Him down and buried Him. Taken literally, St. Paul’s statement agrees with

1 ηὐτησαντο--Ν reads ητησαν, so W.H. marg., but mid. better, ‘‘asked for them- selves”. D reads κριναντες αυτον παρεδωκαν Πιλατῳ ινα εις αναιρεσιν; Blass and Hilg. omit wa; see ver. 29.
Σετελέεσαν, in D ετελουν.
5 D reads after yeyp.: yrovvto tov Π. τουτον µεν σταυρωσαι και επιτυχοντες παλιν .. + The reason of these insertions, as has been suggested, seems the same as in the previous verses—to gain a complete, altheugh summary, account according to the Gospels. Syr. Harcl. mg. after yeyp. postquam crucifixus esset, petierunt a Pilato ut de ligno detraherent eum. Impetraverunt . . . Blass combines the two in B (cf. also Hilg.). But one seems rather a corruption of the other, although the same motive mentioned above might lead to the insertion of either.
4 After οιτινες NAC 13, 15, 18, 61, Sah., Boh., Syrr. P. (H.), Arm., Aeth. read νυν, so Tisch., R.V., [W.H.]; butom. BEHLP, Chrys., so Blass, Weiss, [W.H.]. Perhaps it fell out because the Apostles not only now first, but for a long time past, were witnesses. D, Vulg., Syr. Harcl. read αχρι νυν, so Blass in β, and Hilg.

Wendt (1899) attaches great prob. to W.H. explanation, see App., p. 95; ημιν alone being the orig. reading. DE, Gig., Vulg., so Blass and Hilg., add npwv after πατερας, which shows how easily additions would follow
