Acts 24:19 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 24:19

Who ought to have been here before thee
For they were the only persons who saw him in the temple, and what he was doing; and who by an hideous outcry raised a mob upon him, who took things upon hearsay from them:

and object, if they had ought against me;
either with respect to sedition, or blasphemy, error or heresy, if they were capable of proving anything.

Acts 24:19 In-Context

17 "After being away from Jerusalem for several years, I went back to bring money to my people and to offer sacrifices.
18 I was doing this when they found me in the Temple. I had finished the cleansing ceremony and had not made any trouble; no people were gathering around me.
19 But there were some Jews from the country of Asia who should be here, standing before you. If I have really done anything wrong, they are the ones who should accuse me.
20 Or ask these Jews here if they found any wrong in me when I stood before the Jewish council in Jerusalem.
21 But I did shout one thing when I stood before them: 'You are judging me today because I believe that people will rise from the dead!'"
