This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Act 28:4. Ἔλεγον, they said) forming a hasty judgment. They saw his chains.-φονεὺς, a murderer) A most inhuman crime, murder, which of all crimes is most openly punished in this life.-ἡ δίκη, Vengeance) They recognise the fact, that there is some vengeance; but they account her as a goddess, and do not know who is ὁ Δίκαιος, the Just avenger. How feeble is the light of nature!-ζῆν, to live) They recognise the law of retribution in kind.-οὐκ εἴασεν, hath not suffered) They suppose Paul to be already dead.
