Acts 19:26

οὐ μόνον … ἀλλὰ : non modo … sed. σχεδὸν, Acts 13:44, we cannot take the genitive with ὄχλον, as Hackett suggests. Ἀσίας : the Roman province, so Ramsay, St. Paul, p. 278, where he corrects his former interpretation of the word in this passage in Church in the Roman Empire, p. 166; see above on Paul's work outside Ephesus. οὗτος : contemptuous. μετέστησεν, cf. Joshua 14:8. The testimony thus borne to the wide and effective influence of the Apostles even by their enemies is well commented on by St. Chrys., Hom., xlii., and see also below.
