Cor. iv. 15), referring to the number of believers not only in Jerusalem but in Judza present in large numbers for the Feast. The word cannot refer to Jewish Christians in a wider sense, as Overbeck took it, because they would not need to be informed of Paul’s teaching relative to the Mosaic Ιαν).-Ζηλωταὶ τοῦ ν., ef. Gal. i. τὰ, Tit. iis 14, 2 Pet. fits, το (2 Macc. iv. 2, we have the same phrase, cf. 4 Macc. xviii. 12). The extreme party of the Pharisees prided themselves on the title ‘‘ zealots of the law, zealots of God”’; it was a title which St. Paul himself had claimed, Lightfoot, Gal. i. 14. Ver. 21. κατηχήθησαν: the word seems to imply definite instruction, not merely audierunt, Vulgate. Hort refers to the term as implying here assiduous talking and lecturing, fudaistic Chris- tianity, p. το7.--ἀποστασίαν, cf. 1 Macc. ii. 15 (S ἀπόστασιν) when the officers of Antiochus Epiphanes, in the time of Mattathias, tried to compel the people of Modin to forsake the law and to sacrifice upon the idol αἰίατ.---μὴ περιτέμνειν: these words and those which follow were an entire perversion of St. Paul’s teach- ing, just as his enemies gave a perverted view of the Apostle’s supposed intrusion with Trophimus into the temple, ver. 29. The exemption from the Mosaic law was confined to Jewish converts, xvi. 3, I Cor. vii. 18.---τοῖς ἔθεσι, cf. vi. 14, Xv. I. ---περιπατεῖν: only here in Luke, but often in the Epistles in this sense, cf. Mark vil. 5. VOL. II.
