Acts 24:7

Acts 24:7 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 24:7

But the chief captain Lysias came upon us
Suddenly, and at unawares, immediately, and with great haste, before they could execute their designs; which were not to judge Paul according to law, but to kill him, in the manner the zealots did:

and with great violence took him away out of our hands;
for he came with an army, and rescued him, ( Acts 23:27 ) Some copies add, "and sent him to thee"; and so the Syriac version reads.

Acts 24:7 In-Context

6 qui etiam templum violare conatus est quem et adprehendimus

8 a quo poteris ipse iudicans de omnibus istis cognoscere de quibus nos accusamus eum
9 adiecerunt autem et Iudaei dicentes haec ita se habere
