Acts 26:5 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

After the most straitest sect. — Better, most rigid, or most precise. The Greek does not contain anything answering to the double superlative of the English. The word for “sect” is the same as that used in Acts 24:5, and translated “heresy” in Acts 24:14.

Acts 26:5

5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
