Acts 18:21

See critical note. The Feast, as Ramsay maintains, St. Paul, p. 264 (so Ewald, Renan, Zöckler, Rendall, Blass and others), was the Passover, the one which seems most reconcilable with the chronology; others maintain Pentecost, so Anger, Alford, Wieseler, Plumptre see Alford, in loco, and Turner, Chron. of the N. T., p. 422; Lewin favours Tabernacles. ἀνακάμψω, cf. Acts 19:1 : used by St. Luke, Luke 10:6; Matthew 2:12; Hebrews 11:15; used also several times in LXX, Jud.ges11:39 A, 2 Samuel 8:13; 1 Kings 12:20; Job 39:4, Sus. 14, and other instances, so in classical Greek, to return to a place, Herod., ii. 8. τοῦ Θ. θέλ., cf. 1 Corinthians 4:19; 1 Corinthians 16:17; James 4:15. Not only amongst Jews and Arabs but amongst Greeks and Romans similar phrases were in vogue, see Meyer's note on James 4:15; see critical note on β. ἀνήχθη, see above on Acts 13:13.
