Acts 23:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 23:11

9 Then there arose a loud outcry. And the scribes of the Pharisees’ party arose and protested, saying, ^a“We find no evil in this man; but ^bif a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, ^clet us not fight against God.”

10 Now when there arose a great dissension, the commander, fearing lest Paul might be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.

The Plot Against Paul

11 But ^athe following night the Lord stood by him and said,¹ “Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in ^bJerusalem, so you must also bear witness at ^cRome.”

12 And when it was day, ^asome of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under an oath, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had ^bkilled Paul.

13 Now there were more than forty who had formed this conspiracy.

14 They came to the chief priests and ^aelders, and said, “We have bound ourselves under a great oath that we will eat nothing until we have killed Paul.

15 Now you, therefore, together with the council, suggest to the commander that he be brought down to you¹ tomorrow, as though you were going to make further inquiries concerning him; but we are ready to kill him before he comes near.”
