Acts 26:31 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 26:31

And when they were gone aside
Into some apartment adjoining to the judgment hall:

they talked between themselves;
that the common people might not hear their debates, and the result of them, and what were their sentiments concerning Paul and his case:

saying, this man doth nothing worthy of death,
or of bonds; according to the Roman laws; for as yet there were no laws among the Romans against the Christians as such, or against their professing and preaching Christ.
