Acts 9:24 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 9:24

But their laying await was known of Saul
Either by divine revelation, or by some friends, who had got knowledge of it, and gave him information, as in ( Acts 23:16 ) and they watched the gates night and day to kill him; that is, the Jews, together with the governor of the city, and the garrison of soldiers in it. These all watched at the several gates of the city, night and day, that Saul might not make his escape, and that they might take him, and put him to death.
