rwp - lodging

rwp@Acts:9:43 @{Many days} (\hmeras hikanas\). See on verse ¯23|. Luke is fond of the phrase and uses it for time, number, size. It might be "ten days, ten months, or ten years" (Page). {With one Simon a tanner} (\para tini Simni bursei\). The use of \para\ is usual for staying with one (by his side). "The more scrupulous Jews regarded such an occupation as unclean, and avoided those who pursued it. The conduct of Peter here shows that he did not carry his prejudices to that extent" (Hackett)...food considered unclean. "The lodging with...(Furneaux).

rwp@Acts:10:1 @{Cornelius} (\Kornlios\). The great Cornelian family of Rome may have had a freedman or descendant who is {centurion} (\hekaton-tarchs\, leader of a hundred, Latin _centurio_). See on ¯Matthew:8:5|. These Roman centurions always appear in a favourable light in the N.T. (Matthew:8:5; strkjv@Luke:7:2; strkjv@23:47; strkjv@Acts:10:1; strkjv@22:25; strkjv@27:3|)...Herod; the Galilean fisherman lodging with...{Of the band called the Italian} (\ek speirs ts kaloumens Italiks\). A legion had ten cohorts or "bands" and sixty centuries. The word \speirs\ (note genitive in \-es\ like the Ionic instead of \-as\) is here equal to the Latin _cohors_. In the provinces were stationed cohorts of Italic citizens (volunteers) as an inscription at Carnuntum on the Danube (Ramsay) has shown (epitaph of an officer in the second Italic cohort). Once more Luke has been vindicated. The soldiers could, of course, be Roman citizens who lived in Caesarea. But the Italian cohorts were sent to any part of the empire as needed. The procurator at Caesarea would need a cohort whose loyalty he could trust, for the Jews were restless.

rwp@Acts:28:17 @{Those that were the chief of the Jews} (\tous ontas tn Ioudain prtous\). This use of \prtos\ for the leading men of a city or among the Jews we have already had in strkjv@13:50; strkjv@25:2; strkjv@Luke:19:47|. Literally, "Those that were first among the Jews." The position of the participle \ontas\ between the article and the adjective \prtous\ is regular (Robertson, _Grammar_, p. 777). {When they were come together} (\sunelthontn autn\)...to come to his lodging and...-Christian Jews accepted Paul's invitation. {Nothing against} (\ouden enantion\). Adjective here as in strkjv@26:9|, not preposition as in strkjv@7:10; strkjv@8:32|. From \en\ and \antios\ (\anti\), face to face. Concessive participle \poisas\ as in verse 4| (\diasthenta\) which see. {Yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans} (\desmios ex Ierosolumn paredothn eis tas cheiras tn Romain\). This condensed statement does not explain how he "was delivered," for in fact the Jews were trying to kill him when Lysias rescued him from the mob (22:27-36|). The Jews were responsible for his being in the hands of the Romans, though they had hoped to kill him first.

rwp@John:8:1 @{But Jesus went} (\Isous de eporeuth\). Same deponent use of \poreuomai\ as in strkjv@7:53| and in contrast to the Sanhedrin's conduct, though it seems "pointless" (Dods). Apparently Jesus was lodging in the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus.

rwp@John:19:27 @{Unto his own home} (\eis ta idia\). See this same idiom and sense in strkjv@1:11; strkjv@16:32; strkjv@Acts:21:6|. John had a lodging in Jerusalem, whether a house or not, and the mother of Jesus lived with him there.
