Acts 18:23

ποιήσας χρόνον τινὰ : St. Paul would naturally have spent some time in a place so associated with the origin of Gentile Christianity, and with his own labours, the starting place of each of his missionary journeys; on the phrase in St. Luke see Friedrich, cf. Acts 15:33; Acts 20:3; James 4:13; Revelation 13:5, St.Matthew 20:12; 2 Corinthians 11:25. The stay was probably not lengthy, especially if advantage was to be taken of the travelling season for the highlands of Asia Minor, Turner, Chronology of N. T., p. 422, Hastings' B.D. On the connection of the Galatian Epistle with this stay in Antioch see Ramsay, especially St. Paul, pp. 190, 265. ἐξῆλθε, on his third missionary journey. καθεξῆς, see above on p. 118. διερχόμενος, see above on Acts 13:6.
