Acts 24:19 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 24:19

Who ought to have been here before thee
For they were the only persons who saw him in the temple, and what he was doing; and who by an hideous outcry raised a mob upon him, who took things upon hearsay from them:

and object, if they had ought against me;
either with respect to sedition, or blasphemy, error or heresy, if they were capable of proving anything.

Acts 24:19 In-Context

17 "I was away for several years. Then I came to Jerusalem to bring my people gifts for those who were poor. I also came to offer sacrifices.

18 They found me doing this in the temple courtyard. I had already been made pure and clean in the usual way. There was no crowd with me. I didn't stir up any trouble.

19 "But there are some other Jews who should be here in front of you. They are from Asia Minor. They should bring charges if they have anything against me.

20 Let the Jews who are here tell you what crime I am guilty of. After all, I was put on trial by the Sanhedrin.

21 Perhaps they blame me for what I said when I was on trial. I shouted, 'I believe that people will rise from the dead. That is why I am on trial here today.' "
