Commentary on Acts 21:32

Theological / Devotional

Soldiers and centurions. The chiliarch, or tribune, took down into the disturbed crowd several hundred soldiers, with a centurion, somewhat like a sergeant, heading each platoon.

Left beating of Paul. Or, “at once stopped beating Paul.” See on v. 31. The presence of the Roman soldiers cowed Paul’s Jewish captors. The incident was not worth a revolt, as even the excited Jews realized.
