Commentary

Commentary on Acts 24:12

Theological / Devotional

They neither found me. Here Paul begins a flat denial and thorough refutation of the charges, first in general and then in more detail (see on v. 10). No one could say he had seen Paul doing any of the things of which his enemies were accusing him. Paul’s statements were also capable of proof. There were no witnesses who could prove that Paul had spoken or otherwise conducted himself in an offensive way.

Raising up the people. Literally, “stirring up a crowd.” It was the Jews who had gathered the mob to attack Paul (ch. 21:27, 28).
