This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Perverteth (ἀποστρέφοντα)
Another compound of στρέφω, to turn; διαστρέφοντα is rendered by the same word in Luk 23:2. Probably the words are used without any intentional distinction of meaning. Διαστρέφοντα implies more of the idea of distraction (compare Wyc., turning upside down); turning different ways; while ἀποστρέφοντα emphasizes the turning away (ἀπό) of the people from their civil and religious allegiance. So Wyc., turning away.
Examined (ἀνακρίνας)
Originally implying a thorough examination; ἀνά, up, from bottom to top. Technically, of a legal examination.
