Extract

The Western text of Acts presents the reader with numerous departures from the more familiar text found in the majority of witnesses. These variants often appear trivial, but on occasion they present substantial divergences from the majority text. One such variant is that found in Acts 19.1, dealing with Paul's route to Ephesus on his so-called third missionary journey.
