On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from [his] bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.
Acts 22:30 — KJV
Would have known. Or, “desired to know.” As a careful Roman officer the chief captain was determined to get to the root of the problem and ascertain why the Jews were so eager for Paul’s life.
From his bands. Textual evidence attests (cf. p. 10) the omission of these words.
All their council. That is, the Sanhedrin. Lysias saw that it was a matter of the Jewish religion. Concerning the council chamber where the Sanhedrin met see on Matt. 27:2; see Jerusalem in Time of Christ.
Brought Paul down. That is, from the tower of the Castle of Antonia (see on v. 24; ch. 21:34). The presence of the Roman guard guaranteed Paul’s personal safety.
