According to T Arnold Hill, Acting

NOTE ON THE TEXT

Verse 10. The governor. Felix, who
had been appointed pre- curator of
Judea by Emperor Claudius. His re-

cruel. AS a matter of fact, Felix had
been procurator, or governor about six
years This vas a longer term than
usual, however, and the words would
not seem to be an exaggeration.
Vo~se IA. Aftet the way which they
call hersey The Greek word translated
hersey is the same word that is trans
lated sect in verse 5.
Verse 16. I exercise myself. Take
pains, strive.
Verse II. 1t had been about four or
five years since Paul's previous visit
to Jerusalem. AIMS offerings. The aims
were the collections Paul had raised
among the Gentle churches for the
poor Christians at Jerusalem; the Of
ferings were the sacrifices Paul him
self would offer in connection with
the VOW he had taken, as related in
21:23-24.
Verse 10. Who ought to have been
here before thee, and object. This state
ment means that the Jews who had
accused him the Asiatic Jews should
be there to accuse him. The feast be-
ing over they were probably en- their
