This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Act 13:45. Τοὺς ὄχλους, the multitudes) even of Gentiles.-ἀντέλεγον, they spake against) Presently after their contradiction increased: for there follows the word βλασφημοῦντες, or as others read, ἀντιλέγοντες καὶ βλασφημοῦντες, contradicting and blaspheming. If this fuller reading be preferred, it is an instance of the repetition of the verb, another being superseded, as in Jdg 4:24 (Hebr.); 1Ki 20:37; Isa 19:22; Jer 12:17.[82] Such men are left to themselves: ch. Act 18:6, Act 19:9, Act 28:24; Act 28:28.
[82] The margin of Ed. 2 and Germ. Vers. are less favourable to the fuller reading than the larger Ed.-E. B.
D and later Syr. support the full reading; and so Tisch. But ABC Vulg. the shorter reading. Ee have ἐναντιόμενοι και βλασφ.-E. and T.
