Acts 26:10 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I gave my voice against them.— St. Paul had no vote in the sanhedrim, nor do we certainly know that he was personally concerned in the death of any except Stephen, in whose condemnation there was no voting at all. But the meaning plainly is, that he instigated the people against them as much as he could in that instance, and any other that might occur, whether at Jerusalem or elsewhere; which, as we hinted on ch. Acts 22:4 might perhaps be more than are recorded. Accordingly the Syriac renders it, I joined with those who condemned them.

Acts 26:10

10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.
