[Which] when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of. Here the name of Barnabas, for once since the scene before the proconsul of Cyprus, is put first-evidently because the historian had just before stated that the Lycaonians had given to him the name of Jupiter, who, as compared with Mercurius (the name given to Paul), behoved to take the precedence. On the apostleship of Barnabas, See Remark 8, at the close of this section.
They rent their clothes - the ancient Oriental way of expressing intense grief,
And ran in among the people, х eisepeedeesan (G1530)] - but the true reading evidently is, 'ran out' or 'burst forth х exepeedeesan (G1600a)] into the crowd,' "crying out."
