Hechos 25:23 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 25:23

and was entered into the place of hearing;

with the chief captains;

and became a spectacle to a vast number of men, as he himself says; and which in part fulfilled what Christ had foretold to his disciples, that they should be brought before kings and governors for his sake; see ( 1 Corinthians 4:9 ) ( Matthew 10:18 ) .
