Acts 8:30

προσδραμὼν δὲ : rightly taken to indicate the eagerness with which Philip obeyed. Αρά γε the γε strengthens the ἆρα, dost thou really understand? num igitur? ἆρα without γε is only found elsewhere in Luke 18:8, and in Galatians 2:17 (W.H [218], and also Lightfoot, Galatians, l.c.), see Blass, in loco, and Grammatik, p. 254. In LXX very rare, see Hatch and Redpath, sub v., and Viteau, Le Grec du N. T., p. 22 (1893). γιν. ἃ ἀναγ.: for paronomasia, see Blass, Gram., p. 292, where other instances in N.T. are given, and also Wetstein, in loco. Julian's well-known saying with reference to the Christian writings, and the famous retort, are quoted by Alford, Plumptre, Page, Meyer-Wendt, in loco.
