Acts 16:7

κατὰ τὴν Μ.: “over against Mysia,” R.V., i.e., opposite Mysia, or perhaps, on the outskirts of Mysia, cf. Acts 27:7, and Herod., i., 76, κατὰ Σινώπην, Ramsay, St. Paul, p. 194, Wendt, p. 354 (1888), and Gifford, u. s., p. 13. If we read εἰς for κατά (2), it means that they endeavoured to go out of Asia into the Roman province Bithynia on the north, Ramsay, St. Paul, p. 195. ἐπείραζον : for a similar use of the verb cf. Acts 9:26; Acts 24:6. τὸ Πνεῦμα, add Ἰησοῦ, see critical note. Doctrinally, the expression shows that the Spirit may be called the Spirit of Christ, Romans 8:9, or of Jesus, no less than the Spirit of God, Rom., l. c., Matthew 10:20; see Westcott, Historic Faith, p. 106.
