Yet if the total number of missing words were added up this is how much shorter the modern translations are than the King James Version. Is it a cause for concern if in over 175 instances the names of Christ are missing, or if the word “hell” is not found in the Old Testament, or if key doctrinal passages have been diminished? And, the biggest shock of all! Is it possible that the most basic and blatant of all early heresies concerning the Person of Christ has been given a new lease on life in the modern Bibles? That these things are so, with the reasons why, are set forth in the following pages.

  • The Lukan Periplus of Paul's Third Journey with A
    Acta Theologica 2016 36(1): 229‑254 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/actat.v36i1.13 ISSN 2309‑9089 © UV/UFS <http://www.ufs.ac.za/ActaTheologica> M. Wilson THE LUKAN PERIPLUS OF PAUL’S THIRD JOURNEY WITH A TEXTUAL CONUNDRUM IN ACTS 20:15 ABSTRACT This article discusses a pericope in Acts 20:6–21:8 recounting the sea portion of Paul’s third journey. Its genre resembles the periplus, and generic features are discussed as well as parallels with other periploi. Paul’s periplus in the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas is presented within a fixed calendar in the Jewish year, and the itinerary’s specifics are detailed. A textual conundrum in Acts 20:15 is discussed as it relates to an anchorage opposite Chios. A lexical discussion of ἄντικρυς Χίου is presented, and possible translations are reviewed. The article presents a new hypothesis that the Ionian city of Erythrae was the place of the ship’s landing. It closes with a brief history of Erythrae’s significance in the Greco-Roman world and why a stop there by Paul’s coasting vessel was likely during this part of the journey. 1. INTRODUCTION This article discusses a pericope in the Acts of the Apostles that recounts the sea portion of Paul’s third journey.1 It first argues that the traditional author Luke2 cast the account in a genre well known to his audience – the 1 I wish to thank Dr. Linford Stutzman and Dr. Dan Davis, both scholars who have sailed the Aegean waters described in this article, for their helpful comments on an earlier draft.

  • Acts Chapter 20
    Acts Chapter 20 Acts 20:1 "And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto [him] the disciples, and embraced [them], and departed for to go into Macedonia." “Departed”: Paul departed on his trip to Jerusalem via Greece (see note on 19:21). “Macedonia” (see note on 16:9). In the last lesson, we had seen Demetrius, and the other silversmiths, who made a living engraving figures of the false goddess Diana, grabbing two of Paul's companions and bringing them to open trial. They were released after they decided there were no charges. Now we see Paul warmly greeting the accused. Paul lost no time in getting out of this evil city of Ephesus. He and his companions go back to Macedonia. Probably, Priscilla and Aquila left at this time also. Acts 20:2 "And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece," “Gone over those parts”: Macedonia and Achaia (see note on 19:21). We see here, that Paul and his companions ministered along the way. They were checking still on churches they had already started. Perhaps, they were setting standard doctrine for the Christians at this time. He probably thought them to be doing okay, and proceeded on to Greece. Acts 20:3 "And [there] abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia." “Three months”: Most or all of it were likely spent in Corinth. “When … Jews laid wait for him” (see 9:20, 23; 13:45; 14:2, 19; 17:5-9, 13; 18:6, 12-13; 19:9; 21:27-36; 23:12-15).

    The Book of Acts Chapter 20 The Third Missionary Journey (Continued) Acts 20:22-25 22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. 24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. 25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. I. Review 1. Chapter 19 began in Ephesus with Paul meeting, ministering to, and baptizing 12 Acts Chapter 20 July 21, 2021 Page 1 of 20 followers of John the Baptist, who also received the Holy Ghost. 2. Next, he preached in the synagogue in Ephesus, but after being rejected by some hard-hearted Jews, took some disciples to the School of Tyrannus, and taught there for 2 years. All Asia, Jews and Greeks heard the word. 3. Paul’s ministry included deliverance and miracles brought about by clothing articles from Paul, copycats who tried to use the name of Jesus but got beat up by a demon- possessed man, and deliverance of many from magical arts. 4. The chapter ended with a riot stirred up by a silversmith who complained that those of his trade were losing business since people were not purchasing their idols to the goddess Diana.
