Excerpt from Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Epistle to the Romans: Designed for Bible Classes and Sunday Schools In Acts xviii. 19, we are told that he left Aquila and Priscilla at Ephesus. Paul made a journey through the neighbouring regions, and then returned to Ephesus. Acts xix. 1. Paul remained at Ephesus at least two years (acts xix. 8, 9, and while here probably wrote the first Epistle to the Corin thieus. In that epistle (xvi. 19) he Sends the salutation of Priscilla and Aquila, who were of course still at Ephesus. The Epistle to the Romans, therefore, in which he sends his salutation to Aquila and Priscilla, as being then at Rome, could not be written until they had left Ephesus and returned to Rome; that is, until three years at least after the decree of Claudius in 52 or 54. Still further. When Paul wrote this epistle, he was about to depart for Jerusalem to convey a collection which had been made for the poor saints there, by the churches in Macedonia and Achaia. Rom. Xv. 25, 26. When he had done this, he intended to go to Rome. Rom. Xv. 28.-now, by look ing at the Acts of the Apostles, we can determine when this occurred. At this time he sent Timotheus and Erastus before him into Macedonia, while he remained in Asia for a season, Acts xix. 22. After this (acts xx. 1, Paul himself went into Macedonia, ' passed through Greece, and remained about three months there. In this journey it is almost certain that he went to Corinth, the capital of Achaia, at which time it is supposed this epistle was written. F win this place he set out for Jerusalem, where he was made a prisoner, and after remaining a prisoner two years (acts xxiv. He was sent to Rome about A. D. 60. Allowing for the time of his travelling and his imprisonment, it must have been about three years from the time that he pur posed to go to Jerusalem; that is, from the time that he finished the epistle (rom. Xv. 25 - 29) to the time when he reached Rome, and thus the epistle must have been written about A. D. 57.
