Commentary

Commentary on Acts 25:24

Theological / Devotional

The multitude of the Jews. That is, the Jewish people as a nation, as represented, of course, by the chief priests and members of the Sanhedrin.

Dealt with me. Or, “made suit to me,” “petitioned me” “interceded with me” (see Rom. 8:27, 34; 11:2; Heb. 7:25).

Also here. The leaders of Jerusalem had obviously stirred up an anti-Paul party in Caesarea which had joined in urging the new governor to put Paul to death.

Crying. The pleas of the Jews for Paul to be killed were apparently vehement and vociferous (cf. ch. 22:22, 23).
