ley Λυστροις, D omits (so Hilg. and Blass in B, where he reads και (εκει))--- attractive, although probably due to the previous interpolation, because it would do away with the perplexity of the two readings ev A. αδυν. (so Weiss) and αδυν. ev A. (W.H.).
Σεκ κ. µητρος Blass thinks out of iii. 2, so apparently Wendt—xwdAos om. D, Gig., but see Ramsay, 90. Paul, p. 114.
ὃπεριεπεπατηκει, but περιεπατησεν SABC 61, so Tisch., W.H., Weiss, Wendt, R.V., Blass. At end of verse Flor. reads vrapxwv εν φοβῳ τον θεον, so Blass in B; D omits του θεου and puts the clause after λαλουντος in ver. 9; so Hilg. υπαρχ. omitted above, where it seems clearly an interpolation in T.R. out οΓΠ1,2. According to Flor. the man would be a proselyte, see Ramsay, S#. Paul, p. 116, Hilgenfeld, Blass; but Weiss, Codex D, p. 78, regards the reading in Flor. as quite secondary, and it is
to be noticed that D omits entirely the words του θεου after φοβφῳ. 4yxove BCP, Sah., Syr. Harcl., so W.H., R.V., Blass, Wendt, Weiss; ηκουσεν

keep up the parallel between Peter and Paul. But whilst there are, no doubt, features in common in the two nar- ratives—no great matter for surprise in similar healings, where a similarity of expressions would fitly recur, especially in the literary usage of a medical writer (see Zéckler, p. 240)—the differences are also marked: ¢.g., in the Petrine miracle the man is a beggar, and asks only for alms; in the Pauline nothing is said of all this, even if the first fact is implied— in the Petrine miracle nothing is said of the man’s faith, although it is implied (see notes, in loco); here it is distinctly stated—in the earlier miracle Peter is re- presented as taking the man and raising him up; here nothing.of the kind is mentioned (see further on the two mir- acles, and the different motive in their performance, Nosgen, Afostelgeschichte, Ρ. 267). On St. Paul’s own claim to work miracles see 2 Cor. xii. 12, Rom. xv. 19, Gal. iii. 5. If the latter passage occurs in an Epistle addressed amongst other Churches to Christians in Lystra, in accordance with the South Galatian theory, the assertion of miraculous powers is the more notable; see also McGiffert, Apostolic Age, p. 1δ0.---ἁδύν. τοῖς π. : adjective only here in Ν.Τ. in this sense, cf. LXX, S. Tobit ii. το, v. 9, ἀδύν, τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς. It is used frequently in a similar sense by medical writers, Hobart, Ῥ. 46.--ἐκάθητο; not “dwelt”? Hebra- istic; but simply ‘used to sit,” cf. Luke xviii. 35, John ix. 8; probably in the VOL, II.
forum, cf. ver. 11 (Blass).—é« κοιλ. μητρὸς α.; ‘no mendicant pretender, but one whose history from infancy was well known’. See Ramsay on the ‘triple beat,” St. Paul, p. 115.
Ver. g. οὗτος; a genuine Lucan mark of connection, Friedrich, p. 10.—jKove ; ‘tused to hear,” or ‘‘was listening to,” {.ο., was an habitual hearer of Paul’s preach- ing, see critical notes on D. Ramsay, St. Paul, pp. 114, 116, regards the man as a proselyte, cf. additions in Bezan text, but for another view of the additions here and in ver. 10, Page, Classical Review, July, 1899.—atev., see above, i. 10.—rod σ., Burton, Moods and Tenses, p. 158.
Ver. το. ἀνάσ. . . . ὀρθός: verb, as elsewhere, ix. 34, 40, but only here with ἐπὶ τοὺς π., hitherto they had been too weak to support him, ὀρθός signifying that he was entirely whole, cf. reading in D. On ὀρθός see Ho- bart, p. 46: it was frequently used by medical writers, so by Hippocrates and Galen, with ἵστημι; only elsewhete in N.T. in a figurative sense and in a quotation, Heb. xi. 13. The colloca- tion is also found in classical Greek, and cf. 1 Esdras ix. 46 (see also Hatch and Redpath), but cf. also ἀνορθόω, Luke xiii. 13, and the combination in Galen of ὀρθόω and τὸ ἀδύνατον K@Aov.— Aero καὶ περιεπ., see also reading in Ὦ. If we read ἤλατο, note aorist and imperfect, he sprang up with a single bound, whilst the walking is a continuous action, or inceptive: “πε began to walk’’.
