Acts 24:18

Acts 24:18

16 ^aThis being so, I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men.

17 “Now after many years ^aI came to bring alms and offerings to my nation,

18 ^ain the midst of which some Jews from Asia found me ^bpurified in the temple, neither with a mob nor with tumult.

19 ^aThey ought to have been here before you to object if they had anything against me.

20 Or else let those who are here themselves say¹ if they found any wrongdoing in me while I stood before the council,

21 unless it is for this one statement which I cried out, standing among them, ^a‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged by you this day.’ ”

Felix Procrastinates

22 But when Felix heard these things, having more accurate knowledge of the ^aWay, he adjourned the proceedings and said, “When ^bLysias the commander comes down, I will make a decision on your case.”

Barnes' Notes

<< Acts 24:17

Acts 24:19 >>

Certain Jews from Asia - Acts 21:27.

Found me purified in the temple - Acts 21:26-27. They found me engaged in the sacred service of completing the observance of my vow.

Neither with multitude - Not having introduced a multitude with me - in a quiet and peaceful manner.
