Moreover, the "signs and wonders" referred to in the summary apt describe the preceding. <br /><br />Much more problematic are attempts to reconcile the connection between "None of the rest dared to join them" (v.13) and "Yet more than ever believers were added to the Lord, great numbers of both men and women" (v.14).<br /><br />-anthony Anthony Le Donnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282792648606976883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637125351921336084.post-77600153623419974262013-06-11T08:46:40.290-07:002013-06-11T08:46:40.290-07:00Solomon's Portico is clearly designated as the...Solomon's Portico is clearly designated as the location of two other events (3.11; 5.12). No location is specified for the intervening events except for the more general 'Jerusalem' in 4.5 (cf. v16), and the very vague 'place' in 4.31. But both 2.46 and 5.42 mention both temple and houses as locations for ministry. And houses have doors (cf. 5.9). Peter M.

Maybe community is esx temple and then you don't need some additional transition later in Acts. Thanks.Peter M. Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379103292621457026noreply@blogger.com
