{Knew it} (epignontes). Second aorist active participle of
epigin(9373)k(935c), to know fully. The disciples saw it clearly, so
they {conducted} (kat(8867)agon, effective second aorist active
indicative of katag(935c)). {Sent forth} (exapesteilan). Double
compound (ex, out, apo, away or off). Sent him out and off
{to Tarsus} (eis 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?
