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 to the most excellent governor, Felix, greeting:

27 This man, being taken by the Jews and ready to be killed by them, I rescued, coming in with an army, understanding that he is a Roman.

28 And meaning to know the cause which they objected unto him, I brought him forth into their council.

29 Whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law; but having nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bands.

30 And when I was told of ambushes that they had prepared for him, I sent him to thee, signifying also to his accusers to plead before thee. Farewell.
