Acts 28:18

18 qui cum interrogationem de me habuissent voluerunt me dimittere eo quod nulla causa esset mortis in me

Acts 28:18 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 28:18

Who when they had examined me
About the things laid to his charge, had heard what his accusers had to object to him, and the defence he made for himself:

would have let [me] go;
released him from his bonds, and set him at liberty to go where he pleased:

because there was no cause of death in me;
no crime proved upon him, which was worthy of death; and this was the sense of Lysias the chief captain, and of Felix and Festus the Roman governors, and of King Agrippa.

16 cum venissemus autem Romam permissum est Paulo manere sibimet cum custodiente se milite
17 post tertium autem diem convocavit primos Iudaeorum cumque convenissent dicebat eis ego viri fratres nihil adversus plebem faciens aut morem paternum vinctus ab Hierosolymis traditus sum in manus Romanorum
18 qui cum interrogationem de me habuissent voluerunt me dimittere eo quod nulla causa esset mortis in me
19 contradicentibus autem Iudaeis coactus sum appellare Caesarem non quasi gentem meam habens aliquid accusare
20 propter hanc igitur causam rogavi vos videre et adloqui propter spem enim Israhel catena hac circumdatus sum
