This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
35 I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
Ver. 35. I will hear thee] Pergam te audire, et auditionem absolvam (so Beza rendereth the Greek,
äéáêïõóïìáé
), I will hear thee out, when thine accusers are come. In the mean while I will keep,
ïõò áäéáâëçôïí
, mine ear free. {a} I will not be prepossessed; nor hear one tale till I may hear both. This was well done of Felix, and judge like; qui
" Si statuat aliquid, parte inaudita altera,
Aequum licet statuerit, haud aequus fuerit."
At Rome, the accuser had six hours allotted him to accuse; the guilty or defendant had nine hours to make his answer. This Felix knew full well.
{a}
êáèáñïí ïõò öõëáôôù êáé áäéáâëçôïí
, said Alexander.
