2 Elsewhere, i.e. Rom. xv. 19, 25, 26, 31; I Cor. xvi. 3 (in all MSS except D), Paul uses Ίερουσαλήμ because the emphasis in these contexts is on Jerusalem as the holy city and the centre of the missionary activity.

1 The addition of Ίερουσαλήμ in variants at ii. 42, 43, viii. 1 b, xv. 2 wi11 be discussed below. If the longer texts arc accepted then the number will be increased.

1 At xxi. 13 the New English Bible avoids ‘in Jerusalem’ even though the Greek text on which it is based reads είς Ίερουσαλήμ!

3 Elsewhere Luke has Paul use Ίερουσαλήμ in such contexts, e.g. ix. 13; xiii. 27, 31; xxii. 5, 17, 18.

4 At xviii. 31; xix. 45; xx. I Luke omits mention of Jerusalem even though the parallels in Mark have Ίεροσόλυμα. By contrast, at v. 17; ix. 31; xxi. 20, 24, Luke has inserted Ίερουσαλήμ into the Markan material.

1 In view of the fact that Jeremias, J., ‘ΙΕΡΟΓΣАΛΗΜ/ΙΕΡΟΓΣΟΛΓΜА’ (sic), ZNW, LXV (1974), 273–6Google Scholar, ignores variants from his printed text, it is not surprising to note that he comments, p. 276, ‘Daβ Lukas trotzdem die profane Form in 1928 von Markus (111) übernahm, war offensichtlich ein Versehen’. Similarly, when discussing the We passages in Acts, Jeremias looks no further than the printed text and, seeing the use of Ίερουσαλήμ in xxi. 11, 12, 13, and Ίερόσολυμα in xxi. 4, 15, 17, can merely remark that the use of the name is ‘schwerlich rein zufällig’ (p. 276).
