Acts 24:24

Acts 24:24 VIoudai,a|

After VIoudai,a| the margin of the Harclean Syriac preserves an extended gloss, which A. C. Clark renders into the following Greek: h[tij hvrw,thsen ivdei/n to.n Pau/lon kai. avkou/sai to.n lo,gon) Qe,lwn ou=n cari,zesqai (“Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess, who asked to see Paul and hear the word. Wishing therefore to satisfy her, he summoned Paul”). As Ropes observes (ad loc.), “the purpose of the expansion is to justify the mention of Drusilla by ascribing to her a part in the action.”
