This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Act 24:3. Πολλῆς, great quietness) A speech utterly unlike that of Paul, which was true, modest, and solid, without any varnish. Felix was a man of flagitious character, and hateful to the Jews.-εἰρήνης) Peace, a blessing most of all to be desired in a state.-κατορθωμάτων) A word grand in itself; which Tertullus borrowed from the philosophers: and for this reason there is no epithet added. There follow others in the same clause.-προνοίας, thy providence) This term they often attributed to the gods.
