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 can find out, it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship in Jerusalem.

12 They did not find me disputing with anyone in the temple or stirring up a crowd either in the synagogues or throughout the city.

13 Neither can they prove to you the charge that they now bring 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 ancestors, believing everything laid down according to the law or written in the prophets.

15 I have a hope in God—a hope that they themselves also accept—that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.
