Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Knew it (epignontev). Second aorist active participle of epiginwskw, to know fully. The disciples saw it clearly, so they
conducted (kathgagon, effective second aorist active indicative of katagw).
Sent forth (ecapesteilan). Double compound (ec, out, apo, away or off). Sent him out and off
to Tarsus (eiv Tarson). Silence is preserved by Luke. But it takes little imagination to picture the scene at home when this brilliant young rabbi, the pride of Gamaliel, returns home a preacher of the despised Jesus of Nazareth whose disciples he had so relentlessly persecuted. What will father, mother, sister think of him now?
