I am intrigued by the status of the "proselytes" and whether they were accompanying Jews visiting from Rome. Were the Roman Jews their "sponsors"?
I. Howard Marshall in his commentary (pg 26) speaks of Gentiles worshipping in the Jewish synagogues. Is he referring to these proselytes or is there another reference.
What was the status of these proselytes and were they accepted as Jewish?
Did they need to undergo circumcision and if so would this perhaps be carried out at Jerusalem?
