Acts 28:17 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

And after three days — Given to rest and prayer, Paul called the chief of the Jews together — He always sought the Jews first; but being now bound, he could not so conveniently go round to them. Though I have done nothing — Seeing him chained, they might have suspected he had. Therefore he first obviates this suspicion.

Acts 28:17

17 And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
