luke_n present_o after_o s._n paul_n escape_n out_o of_o damascus_n make_v mention_n of_o his_o come_n to_o jerusalem_n act._n 9.26_o but_o the_o answer_n here_o be_v that_o s._n luke_n in_o that_o

asia_n act._n 16.7_o pareus_n also_o be_v of_o the_o same_o judgement_n because_o s._n paul_n speak_v before_o king_n agrippa_n how_o he_o preach_v at_o damascus_n and_o at_o jerusalem_n and_o in_o judea_n act._n 26.20_o make_v no_o mention_n of_o his_o preach_n in_o arabia_n but_o see_v there_o be_v three_o year_n run_v after_o s._n paul_n go_v from_o damascus_n to_o arabia_n before_o he_o return_v to_o jerusalem_n it_o be_v not_o like_a that_o s._n paul_n all_o this_o time_n be_v idle_a and_o in_o the_o same_o place_n act._n 26.20_o though_o he_o make_v no_o particular_a mention_n of_o his_o preach_n in_o arabia_n yet_o he_o say_v in_o general_a that_o he_o preach_v to_o the_o gentile_n wherefore_o i_o rather_o subscribe_v here_o unto_o the_o sentence_n of_o chrysostome_n who_o think_v that_o s._n paul_n at_o this_o time_n preach_v in_o arabia_n and_o do_v other_o memorable_a thing_n which_o for_o modesty_n sake_n he_o pass_v over_o in_o silence_n 2._o the_o second_o

this_o journey_n and_o that_o describe_v act._n 15._o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o the_o second_o how_o these_o fourteen_o year_n be_v to_o be_v count_v and_o where_o they_o must_v take_v beginning_n for_o the_o first_o chrysostome_n and_o hierome_n upon_o the_o 2._o to_o the_o galatian_n seem_v to_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o these_o be_v two_o diverse_a journey_n and_o there_o may_v seem_v some_o probability_n hereof_o because_o s._n luke_n say_v that_o barnabas_n go_v with_o paul_n act._n 15._o but_o s._n paul_n say_v beside_o barnabas_n he_o take_v also_o titus_n and_o s._n luke_n

by_o revelation_n gal._n 2.2_o yet_o hereunto_o it_o may_v be_v thus_o answer_v that_o though_o luke_n make_v no_o express_a mention_n of_o titus_n yet_o he_o may_v be_v include_v in_o that_o general_a addition_n they_o ordain_v that_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n and_o certain_a other_o of_o they_o shall_v go_v etc._n etc._n act._n 15.2_o and_o s._n paul_n may_v go_v up_o by_o revelation_n and_o yet_o that_o other_o occasion_n also_o concurrè_v therewith_o wherefore_o the_o opinion_n rather_o of_o theodoret_n in_o 2._o ad_fw-la galat._n and_o of_o beda_n in_o c._n 15._o actor_n seem_v to_o be_v more_o sound_a that_o both_o these_o be_v but_o one_o journey_n both_o because_o after_o this_o immediate_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n divide_v themselves_o act._n 15.39_o and_o travail_v not_o

the_o computation_n of_o these_o 14._o year_n must_v begin_v 1._o beda_n and_o the_o author_n of_o the_o scholastical_a history_n upon_o the_o 15._o of_o the_o act_n and_o thomas_n lyranus_fw-la
