This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Act 13:25. Τὸν δρόμον, his course) The functions of many of the most excellent of the servants of GOD have been speedily fulfilled and ended: therefore the term course is used (implying speed).-τίνα με ὑπονοεῖτε εἶναι; οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐγὼ) I am not he whom ye think that I am is the rendering of the Latin Vulgate. From which Luther has, Ich bin nicht der, dafür ihr mich haltet. For in the time of Luther the copies of the Latin Vulgate, which he sometimes followed in the Acts (ch. Act 4:9, Act 5:6, Act 9:31), generally were without the mark of interrogation. But in this passage the language is very energetic, (and therefore should be written) with the interrogation, which was afterwards added here also in the Latin editions. Whether τίνα can be used in this place for ὄντινα, or cannot, we do not inquire. Raphelius says it can, Wolf says it cannot.
