24. Them take The elders here advise Paul to adopt the expedient of Herod Agrippa, who had not long since, in order to give a public attestation of his Judaism, when he came to Jerusalem from Rome, laid out a considerable sum in defraying the expense of absolving several Nazarites of their vow. Paul had himself lately finished a vow at Cenchrea by the cutting of his hair, but probably without any Jewish ablutions or expressive sacrifices. (For the vow of a Nazarite, see Numbers 6:1-21.) ... read more

25. We have written The elders here refer to the decree of the Jerusalem Council, (Acts 15:28-29,) in order to show that not even this compliance would be necessary for Paul’s Gentile attendants, or for any other Gentiles. read more

2. Paul’s Arrest Rescue by Romans , Acts 21:26-40 . 26. Then Paul One of the most momentous turning points of Paul’s life has now arrived. He is to become for years an apostle in bonds. He now marches as a victim to the scene of his arrest. Paul enters, doubtless through Solomon’s portico, on the east, into the court of the Gentiles; and, within finds himself walking on a beautiful pavement of variegated stone. He next passes, ascending, as up a terrace, through the Beautiful Gate... read more

28. Men of Israel A popular patriotic war cry. Brought Greeks (See note on John 2:14.) To the inscription upon the wall of this court Titus, the Roman destroyer of Jerusalem, once made a most indignant reference: Have ye not, O ye accursed, by our permission put up this partition wall before your sanctuary? Have not you been allowed to put up the pillars thereto belonging at due distances, and on it to engrave in Greek, and in your own letters, this prohibition, that no foreigner should go... read more

31. Went about to kill him Were seeking to kill him; that is, dragging him to a place where bloodshed was permissible, and beating him. The surprise of some commentators that the Christians did not come to the rescue of Paul is absurd. Nothing could have been more rash than thus to have drawn on their own heads the vengeance of the Jewish government and people. Tidings came unto The commotion would be visible to the Roman sentries stationed on the cloisters at the Fort Antonia, and ... read more
