The present section deals with the events concerning the conversion of Peter (Acts 9:31–11:18) whereby he at last comes to understand that the good news of Jesus is for Jews and Gentiles alike. Since the Greek pages of Codex Bezae are missing from 8:29 to 10:14 and the Latin ones from 8:20b to 10:4, we have noted in the Critical Apparatus the variants of other witnesses that differ from the Alexandrian text. From 10:4b (fol. 455a), the Latin text of Codex Bezae is available. The Greek text starts at 10:14b (fol. 455b).

The compound verb of D05, á¼Ï€Î¹Î´Îµá½·ÎºÎ½Ï…Î¼Î¹, is more forceful than the simple verb with the sense of reveal, or give proof32. 29 (Î¼ÎµÏ„Î±Ï€ÎµÎ¼Ï†Î¸Îµá½¶Ï›) á½‘Ï†â€™ á½‘Î¼á¿¶Î½ D d E 88. 915. 1270. 1837 p | á¼€Ï†â€™ á½‘Î¼á¿¶Î½ 2344 â€– om.

By spelling out the agent of the passive verb, D05 reinforces, as it does so often, the relationship between Peter and audience (cf. 10:22 above, v. 33 below). 30 á¾¿Î‘Ï€á½¸ Ï„ÎµÏ„á½±ÏÏ„Î·Ï› (DB?) á¼¡Î¼á½³ÏÎ±Ï› Î¼á½³Ï‡ÏÎ¹ Ï„Î±á½»Ï„Î·Ï› Ï„á¿†Ï› á½¥ÏÎ±Ï› á¼¤Î¼Î·Î½ B P74 ) A* 81. 323. 945. 1739. 1891 | á¾¿Î‘Ï€á½¸ Ï„ÎµÏ„. á¼¡Î¼.

The indications given by Cornelius regarding the chronology vary in several ways in these two variants which function together. In D05: 1) Cornelius states that he was fasting; 2) the fasting extended over three days and ceased at the same time as he was talking with Peter; 3) this time was the ninth hour, at which time he began praying â€“ a new clause begins with Ï„á½´Î½ á¼Î½á½±Ï„Î·Î½ which is highlighted by its position at the head of the clause; 4) the new clause is connected to the previous one by Ï„Îµ; the first verb is a present participle, Ï€ÏÎ¿ÏƒÎµÏ…Ï‡á½¹Î¼ÎµÎ½Î¿Ï›, followed by the main verb á¼”ÏƒÏ„Î· which is highlighted by ÎºÎ±á½¶ á¼°Î´Î¿á½». B03 presents Cornelius account quite differently: 1) there is no mention of fasting; 2) the ninth hour is highlighted by its place between the two components of the periphrastic verb, á¼¤Î¼Î·Î½ â€¦ Ï€ÏÎ¿ÏƒÎµÏ…Ï‡á½¹Î¼ÎµÎ½Î¿Ï›, but does not occupy the salient position of the head of the clause; 3) the absence of the mention of fasting causes the number of days to refer to the time between Corneliusâ€™ praying and his speaking with Peter; 4) in consequence, the number of days has to be four instead of three, so as to concord with the three mentions of Ï„á¿‡ á¼Ï€Î±á½»ÏÎ¹Î¿Î½ since Corneliusâ€™ prayer (10:9, 23, 24). The result is that the Greek of the sentence in B03 reads oddly, especially the initial preposition á¼€Ï€á½¹33. 32 (Î¸á½±Î»Î±ÏƒÏƒÎ±Î½) á½ƒÏ› Ï€Î±ÏÎ±Î³ÎµÎ½á½¹Î¼ÎµÎ½Î¿Ï› Î»Î±Î»á½µÏƒÎµÎ¹ ÏƒÎ¿Î¹ D d C E H L P Î¨ 049. 056. 0142. 1739 M it sy (sa mae) aethpt; Chr Bedagr mss acc. to â€– om.
