Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it. See the notes at Acts 13:44-48 . 'This "departure to the Gentiles" (says Bengel) he had intimated to the perverse Jews at Antioch ( Acts 13:46), and at Corinth (Acts 18:6); now at Rome: thus in Asia, Greece, and Italy.' Acts 28:29

[And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.] This verse we formerly regarded (with Olshausen) as genuine; but as it is wanting in some of the principal authorities ['Aleph (') A B E, with many cursives; in the text of the Vulgate, and apparently in that of the Peshito Syriac], and is found only in some later manuscript [as G H] - while internal evidence seems pretty equal on both sides-we must view it as at least doubtful.
