This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
To know the certainty (gnōnai to asphales). Same idiom in Act 21:34 which see.
Wherefore he was accused (to tōi kategoreitai). Epexegetical after to asphales. Note article (accusative case) with the indirect question here as in Luk 22:1, Luk 22:23, Luk 22:24 (which see), a neat idiom in the Greek.
Commanded (ekeleusen). So the Sanhedrin had to meet, but in the Tower of Antonia, for he brought Paul down (katagagōn, second aorist active participle of katagō).
Set him (estēsen). First aorist active (transitive) indicative of histēmi, not the intransitive second aorist estē. Lysias is determined to find out the truth about Paul, more puzzled than ever by the important discovery that he has a Roman citizen on his hands in this strange prisoner.
