Acts 24:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 24:7

5 ^aFor we have found this man a plague, a creator of dissension among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

6 ^aHe even tried to profane the temple, and we seized him,¹ and wanted ^bto judge him according to our law.

7 ^aBut the commander Lysias came by and with great violence took him out of our hands,

8 ^acommanding his accusers to come to you. By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”

9 And the Jews also¹ assented, maintaining that these things were so.
