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 As you may ascertain, it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem;

12 and they did not find me disputing with any one or stirring up a crowd, either in the temple or in the synagogues, or in the city.

13 Neither can they prove to you what they now bring up against me.

14 But this I admit to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, I worship the God of our fathers, believing everything laid down by the law or written in the prophets,

15 having a hope in God which these themselves accept, that there will be a resurrection of both the just and the unjust.
