Acts 15:35

διέτριβον, cf. Acts 12:19, and see also on Acts 16:12. In LXX cf. Leviticus 14:8; Jeremiah 42 (35):7, Jdt 10:2, 2Ma 14:23. So also in classics with or without χρόνον. διδάσ. καὶ εὐαγγ.: possibly the first may refer to work inside the Church, and the second to work outside, but the distinction can scarcely be pressed. Within this time, according to Wendt, falls the incident between Paul and Peter, Galatians 2:11. On the other hand, see Weiss, Apostelgeschichte, p. 194, who thinks that the τινας ἡμέρας excludes, Galatians 2, etc., but the phrase is very indefinite, and may have included months as well as days, cf. Acts 16:12, and Acts 9:23. On the incident referred to see additional note at end of chapter.
