Antioch : ancient capital of Syria; a fraction of it survives as Antioch in SE Turkey.
... to those of their new religion. The term "Christian" came into vogue in about 41 A.D. when Paul and Barnabas were in Antioch in Syria. Acts 11:26 runs: "For a whole year they were guests of the Church there and they instructed a very considerable number of people. And it was at Antioch that the disciples first received the name of Christians." "Christiani" was a nickname and means "belonging to the party... accurate. In the time of Irenaeus, c. 180 A.D., the four canonical Gospels were in existence, for he cites them all by name. Evidence for individual Gospels is found even before. Thus Ignatius of Antioch (c. 110 A.D.) knew the Matthaean tradition. So, even if Page 16 the present manuscripts are of a later date, the existence of the original versions is surely much earlier. Some ...

My blood within me chills when I look forward And think of Antioch. ANTIOCHUS These are the shadows from a clouded past Which shall not be repeated, Rodogune. This is not Antioch that thou knewst, the prison Of thy captivity, thou enterest now, Not Antioch of thy foes, but a new city And thy own kingdom. RODOGUNE Are the gods so good?

... inscriptions of the same emperor the name of Antiochus, King of Antioch (Antiochus II Theos), that of Ptolemy, King of Egypt (Ptolemy II Philadelphus), that of Magas, King of Cyrene, brother of Ptolemy, that of Antigonus (Gonatas) of Macedonia, lastly, that of Alexander (either Alexander of Epirus or Alexander of Corinth). To reach Antioch, Alexandria, Cyrene, Macedonia, Epirus or Corinth from India,... ): more than 120 ('bows'). At TRT', here: 100. Below: 80." 1 Dupont-Sommer 2 reads TDMR as "Tadmor" and finds this reading, which points to the place more generally known as Palmyra near Antioch, rather appropriate in the inscription. Tadmor, he says "is the distant oasis, the great caravan city which was situated some 3800 kilometres from the place where the inscription has been engraved ...
... Antiochus persuades them to stop; he will be no party to "fratricidal murder" but will prefer "the heroic steps of ordered battle". With Rodogune and Eunice, he and his supporters quickly move out of Antioch, leaving Timocles and Cleopatra in possession of the city. That Rodogune should have preferred to follow Antiochus to the desert is most galling to Timocles, and he starts whining: All, all's... Antiochus wins the admiration of the people and regains Cleopatra's love. On the other hand, he places himself (and all whom he loves) in the unscrupulous hands of Phayllus who is the real power in Antioch. But Timocles can think only of Rodogune, he has no use for Cleone that "harlot... rose-faced beauty", he foams at the thought of Antiochus and Rodogune sharing the same couch. In this mad mood he... when he tells the hero - Despise not proud defeat, scorn not high death. The gods accept them sternly.... Depart and be as if thou wert not born. The gods await thee in Antioch. 49 He almost shows Antiochus the way of acceptance, of submission to the will of the gods. The hero must seek his peace by subordinating his actions to the will of the gods. And that is what ...
... sepulchre. We have precisely the situation evoked by Galatians 3:13 echoing Deuteronomy 21:23. And most curiously, Acts 13:29 is within an oration put into Paul's mouth at the city of Antioch in the province of Pisidia. The scholars who prefer the tradition of this verse of Acts to that of the Joseph of Arimathaea story are on the right tack. From their coign of vantage every... appearance. Acts seems to be on Paul's side with both particularity and emphasis. And again it is interesting to realise that the verse we have quoted is ascribed by Acts to the speech of Paul himself at Antioch in Pisidia. Brown 261 regards Paul's omission of Mary Magdalene and other women in his Corinthian list as not necessarily implying that the tradition of the first appearance to them "was ...
... which he shared (2 Timothy 4:11) the future Evangelist must have noticed not a word about the theme of his Gospel's opening chapter. Declared by some authorities (JB, p. 5) to have been born at Antioch in Syria, a locality prominent in Paul's travels, Luke was bound to know of its Christianity as devoid of that theme. The star-feature of his first chapter was a sudden growth without an ancient ...
... scene of history had lasted no longer than two years. All the time she had faithfully followed the guidance of her voices, which she said were those of St Catherine (of Alexandria), St Margaret (of Antioch) and St Michel, the archangel, leader of the celestial armies. 98 The voices had told her that her mission would last no longer than one year, and so it happened. After the triumphal coronation ...
... recounted in Galatians 2:11-14 should be in Acts 15 but is totally missing. From Fitzmyer 39 we may draw another dissonance in connection with the same chapter. Acts 15:2 records a "dissension" at Antioch between "some men from Judaea" and Barnabas and Paul. The author of Acts "gives this motivation for the sending of Barnabas and Paul to Jerusalem [for a decision], but in Galatians 2:2 Paul speaks ...
... linkage of Jesus' birth with Quirinius's census is wrong and yet the linkage of this event with Quirinius's governorship of Syria could be right because a fragment of a Roman inscription discovered at Antioch has revealed that Quirinius had come as the legate of Augustus to the Near Page 3 East once before 6 A.D. on a military assignment and had established his seat of government as ...
