Excerpt from Gnomon of the New Testament, Vol. 2
II., p. 196, and Harm. Ev. Ed. P. 80; and that was a city In which especially flourished xarfixno'lg, ver. 4. He was a most noble man, as the title given him by Luke shows comp. Acts xxiii. 26, xxiv. 3, xxvi. 25. The same title is not given to the same Theophilus in Acts i. 1, either because he was then in private life, or because his excellence and Luke's intimacy with him had increased. More over this title of respect serves as an argument, that the Gospel his tory is a true one, and allowed itself from the very beginning to be offered for acceptance to the most distinguished personages. The holy examples of illustrious men, described in these books, were cal culated to stimulate Theophilus to imitate them.
