Gevurot 25:20 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 25:20

And because I doubted of such manner of questions
Or was ignorant of them, and knew not what to make of them, or to say to them, and was at an entire loss what to do in this affair:

I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of
these matters;
before the Jewish sanhedrim, who best understood them.
