Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 22:30

Acts 22:30. On the morrow The chief captain, having become more anxious to know certainly what Paul’s crime was, since he understood that he was a Roman citizen; loosed him from his bands In which he had laid him a close prisoner; and commanded the chief priests, and all their council All the members of the sanhedrim; to appear Or to come together and hold a court; and brought Paul down From the castle; and set him before them That he might be examined and tried according to the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 22:30

Before the Sanhedrin (22:30-23:11)Still wanting to find out the story behind this remarkable man, Lysias called the Jewish Sanhedrin to examine him (30). Paul soon saw, however, that the Sanhedrin was already set against him and he was not likely to get justice there (23:1-5).Paul therefore changed his tactics. The one who had spoken to the Roman commander in Greek, addressed the mob in Aramaic, announced himself as God’s apostle to the Gentiles and claimed to be a Roman citizen, now called... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 22:30

But on the morrow, desiring to know the certainty whereof he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them.The council here was the Sanhedrin, the same evil court that had judicially murdered the Son of God; and one is struck by the position of Lysias being so much like that of Pontius Pilate. As a matter of fact, it will be remembered that Pilate's residence, like that of Felix, was... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Acts 22:30

30. commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear—that is, the Sanhedrim to be formally convened. Note here the power to order a Sanhedrim to try this case, assumed by the Roman officers and acquiesced in on their part. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 22:30

The commander released Paul from his chains but kept him in custody. He decided the Sanhedrin could discover why the Jews were accusing Paul since he could not figure this out. He ordered this body to meet to examine Paul because he was responsible for keeping peace in Jerusalem. If Paul’s offenses proved inconsequential, Claudius Lysias would release him. If the Jews charged him with some religious crime, the Sanhedrin could try him. If they charged him with a civil crime, the Roman provincial... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 22:1-30

St. Paul’s Defence1-21. St Paul’s Speech to the People. St. Paul was accused of (1) hostility to the Jews, (2) contempt for the Jewish Law, and (3) the desecration of the Temple. He answers all these charges by showing, (1) that he was a Jew by birth, trained by Gamaliel, and so zealous for the Law, that he had been a persecutor of the Christian faith; (2) that his conversion to Christianity was the result of a direct divine revelation, made first at Damascus, and confirmed by a subsequent... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Acts 22:30

(30) Because he would have known the certainty . . .—Better, wishing to know the certain fact, namely, why he was accused. Failing to get the information by the process of torturing the prisoner, the chiliarch now has recourse to the other alternative of getting a formal declaration from the Sanhedrin, as the chief representative body of the Jews. As yet, it will be remembered, they had taken no official action in the proceedings, and the chief captain had heard only the clamours of the crowd. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Acts 22:1-30

God Shaping Man's Course Acts 22:14 There is one word in this passage which is of supreme importance. It is the keyword of the passage, and all the meaning of the passage depends on it. It is an unusual word in the New Testament in the original, though we are familiar with the word by which it is translated. It looks a simple word, but it is very broad, and deep and full. 'Chosen 'is the word. If it meant only what we are accustomed to read in it, it would mean a great deal. Here was a man who... read more

CHAPTER 22 1. The Address of the Apostle (Acts 22:1-21 ). 2. The Answer from the Mob, and Paul’s Appeal to His Roman citizenship (Acts 22:22-30 ). What a scene it was! On the stairs, midway between the temple-court and the fortress, stood the Apostle in chains, his person showing the effects of the beating he had received. Around him were the well-armed Roman soldiers, and below the multitude, with up-turned faces, still wildly gesticulating and only becoming more silent when they heard the... read more
