Hechos 24:6

6 El cual también tentó á violar el templo; y prendiéndole, le quisimos juzgar conforme á nuestra ley:

Hechos 24:6 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 24:6

Who also hath gone about to profane the temple
By introducing a Greek into it; see ( Acts 21:28 Acts 21:29 ) which was only a supposition and conjecture of the Asiatic Jews, and was a false and groundless one:

whom we took;
as they did in the temple, and dragged him out of it:

and would have judged according to our law;
which was another untruth, for they had him not before any court of judicature; they brought no charge in form against him, nor did they examine his case, and inquire into the truth of things, or hear what he had to say, but fell upon him, and beat him; and if it had not been for the chief captain and his soldiers, would have destroyed him, so far were they from proceeding according to their law: it seems by Tertullus calling the law, "our law", that he was a Jewish proselyte; or else he speaks after the manner of lawyers, who call what is their clients, theirs.

Hechos 24:6 In-Context

4 Empero por no molestarte más largamente, ruégote que nos oigas brevemente conforme á tu equidad.
5 Porque hemos hallado que este hombre es pestilencial, y levantador de sediciones entre todos los Judíos por todo el mundo, y príncipe de la secta de los Nazarenos:
6 El cual también tentó á violar el templo; y prendiéndole, le quisimos juzgar conforme á nuestra ley:
7 Mas interviniendo el tribuno Lisias, con grande violencia le quitó de nuestras manos,
8 Mandando á sus acusadores que viniesen á ti; del cual tú mismo juzgando, podrás entender todas estas cosas de que le acusamos.
