Acts 24:13 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 24:13

Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse
me.
] As that he was a pestilent fellow, a mover of sedition, and a profaner of the temple these things they could not set forth in any clear light, and bring testimonies, or give demonstration of; they could not make them appear to be true, which it lay upon them to do, or otherwise in course he ought be acquitted: this was challenging and defying them to make good their assertions.

Acts 24:13 In-Context

11 You can learn for yourself that I went to worship in Jerusalem only twelve days ago.

12 Those who are accusing me did not find me arguing with anyone in the Temple or stirring up the people in the synagogues or in the city.

13 They cannot prove the things they are saying against me now.

14 But I will tell you this: I worship the God of our ancestors as a follower of the Way of Jesus. The Jews say that the Way of Jesus is not the right way. But I believe everything that is taught in the law of Moses and that is written in the books of the Prophets.

15 I have the same hope in God that they have -- the hope that all people, good and bad, will surely be raised from the dead.
