Acts 24:20 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 24:20

Or else let these same here say
They that are present, the high priest and the elders, who were come down to accuse him:

if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the
council;
or "Jewish sanhedrim"; when he was brought before them by the chief captain, ( Acts 22:30 ) ( 23:1 ) meaning, if any evil was then done by him, or any iniquity proved upon him, let it be declared; for as for his imprecation, or prophecy, that God would smite the high priest, he excused himself on that head, as not knowing it was the high priest.

Acts 24:20 In-Context

18 As I was doing this, they found me purified in the temple, without any crowd or tumult. But some Jews from Asia--

19 they ought to be here before you and to make an accusation, if they have anything against me.

20 Or else let these men themselves say what wrongdoing they found when I stood before the council,

21 except this one thing which I cried out while standing among them, 'With respect to the resurrection of the dead I am on trial before you this day.'"

22 But Felix, having a rather accurate knowledge of the Way, put them off, saying, "When Lys'ias the tribune comes down, I will decide your case."
