Commentary

Commentary on Acts 22:23

Theological / Devotional

Cast off their clothes. To cast off the loose outer robe (Gr. himation; see on Matt. 5:40; see Vol. V, p. 47) reflected great excitement. The mob was ready for action. Compare 2 Kings 9:13.

Threw dust. A gesture of loathing and repudiation.
