Act 26:7. Εἰς ἣν, unto which) hope.-τὸ δωδεκάφυλον the twelve tribes) Even the Ten tribes had in considerable numbers (a good part of them) returned from the East, but they had passed from that διασπορὰ into the διασπορὰ, of which Jam 1:1 and 1Pe 1:1 speak. For the Ten tribes had not been in the first instance carried away into those localities which James and Peter, in the passages quoted, refer to (“Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, Bithynia”). All had the hope of the resurrection.-καταντῆσαι, to attain) A verb frequently used by Paul: Eph 4:13, “Till we all come (καταντήσωμεν) to the unity of the faith;” Php 3:11. The whole of our religion tends towards the future.
