ἐκτιναξάμενοι, cf. Matthew 10:14; Luke 10:11; Mark 6:11. The symbolic act would be understood by the Jews as an intimation that all further intercourse was at an end. There is no reason to see in the words a late addition by the author of Acts to the source; the disciples mentioned in Acts 13:52 need not have been Jews at all, but Gentiles, and in Acts 14:21 nothing is said of any intercourse except with those who were already disciples. Ἰκόνιον, see on Acts 14:1.
