Acts 23:28 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 23:28

And when I would have known the cause
Or crime, he was guilty of:

wherefore they accused him:
which they charged him with, and for which they beat him almost to death:

I brought him forth into their council;
their court of judicature, the great sanhedrim.

Acts 23:28 In-Context

26 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sends greeting.

27 This man was taken of the Jews and should have been killed by them; then I came with an army and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.

28 And when I desired to know the cause of why they accused him, I brought him forth into their council,

29 whom I found to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.

30 And when it was told me how the Jews lay in wait to ambush the man, I sent straightway to thee and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
