To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Paul must therefore take leave of the noble Bereans, and still pursue his southward journey ; this time without his colleagues. There was work before him, and Jewish spite gave him no rest till he overtook it. Though he had been invited across the ^Egean by a man of Macedonia, he must now depart from that province. They " immediately sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea;" Silas and Timothy being left behind. The words " as it were to the sea, " do not mean as they seem to do in English,... that his journey sea-ward was a mere feint to elude his enemies, though some have held this notion, but merely that he travelled designedly toward the sea. Pro- bably he might not intend to embark at once at least for Athens but might wish to revisit Philippi and Thessa- lonica. It is not formally stated, but the inference is, that Paul went by sea to Athens. The journey by land would have been one of two hundred arid fifty-one miles, and there is no record of it or of any place visited on the way j whereas the voyage, if he took shipping at the mouth of the Haliacmon, might be accomplished in three days.
