This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
He hoped ... that money should have been given him ... wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him - Bribery in a judge was punishable by the Roman law, but the spirit of a slave (to use the words of Tacitus) was in all his acts, and his communing with Paul” - as if he cared for either him or his message - simply added hypocrisy to meanness. The position in life of Paul’s Christian visitors might beget the hope of extracting something from them for the release of their champion; but the apostle would rather lie in prison than stoop to this!
