Acts 26:6 - Exposition

Here to be judged for and am judged, A.V. To be judged ( ἕστηκα κρινόμενος ); rather, I stand on my trial. The A.V. seems to give the sense well. The hope of the promise . The hope of the kingdom of Christ, which necessarily implies the resurrection of the dead. This hope, which rested upon God's promise to the fathers, Paul clung to; this hope his Sadducean persecutors denied. He, then, was the true Jew; he was faithful to Moses and the prophets; he claimed the sympathy and support of all true Israelites, and specially of King Agrippa.
