St. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians: A Practical Exposition

by Charles Gore

[[42]] Ramsay, l.c. p. 143.

[[43]] 'From the fifth to the tenth hour' (11 a.m. to 4 p.m.), an early addition to the text of the Acts tells us; i. e. after work hours, when the school would naturally be vacant and St. Paul would have finished his manual labour at tent-making. Ramsay, l.c. p. 276.

[[44]] 1 Cor. xv. 32.

[[45]] Acts xix. 23 ff.

[[46]] Prof. Ramsay asserts that instead of 'robbers of temples' (Acts xix. 37), we should translate 'disloyal to the established government.' l.c. p. 282. But the word is used in the former sense in special connexion with Ephesus by Strabo, xiv. 1, 22, and Pseudo-Heracleitus, Ep. 7, p. 64 (Bernays).

[[47]] See [app. note B], p. 253, on the contemporary 'letters of Heracleitus.'

[[48]] Acts xx. 17 ff.

[[49]] Col. iv. 16.
