Commentary on Acts 26:29

Theological / Devotional

Not only thou. Nothing daunted, Paul still presses his appeal.

Were. Literally, “might become.”

Both almost, and altogether. Literally, “whether in little or in much,” with reference to the “in a little” of Agrippa’s exclamation (v. 28). However little or much Paul has given by way of evidence, it is enough upon which to base an appeal to an informed Jew like the king.

Except these bonds. As Paul gestures with his hands he remembers the chains with which he is bound.
