Acts 28:29 - Exposition

(A.V.).—This verse is entirely wanting in the R.T. and R.V. It is omitted in many good manuscripts and versions. It is condemned by Grotius, Mill, Tischendorf, Lachmann, and others; but is not absolutely rejected by Meyer, Alford, Plumptre, and others. Great reasoning ( πολλὴν συζήτησιν see Acts 15:2 , Acts 15:7 ; and Luke 22:23 ; Luke 24:15 ; Acts 6:9 ; Acts 9:29 ). The phrase is in St. Luke's style, and the statement seems necessary to complete the narrative.
