This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Claudius Lysias. As the Procurator's legate, he was responsible for order in Jerusalem. He had shown promptness and vigour, and, moreover, kindly consideration for his prisoner (Act_23:19), and in his letter puts Paul's case in a favourable light. He certainly claims some credit for himself to which he was not entitled (Act_23:27), and says nothing about his proposing to scourge a Roman citizen. But he stands far above Felix, or even Festus, and is entitled to rank with Julius (Act_27:3, Act_27:43).
most excellent. Greek. kratistos. Only occurance here; Act_24:3; Act_26:25, and Luk_1:3. It was an official title. Compare "Excellency".
greeting. See note on Act_15:23.
