Context of Acts 24:13

11I went to Jerusalem less than 12 days ago. You can check that that is true. I went there to worship God. 12When the Jews saw me in the temple, I was not arguing with anyone. I was not causing trouble among Jewish people in their meeting places. Nor did I cause problems in any other places in Jerusalem. They have said bad things against me. But they cannot show you that these things are true. 14What I do agree is this: I worship the same God that our Jewish ancestors worshipped. But I do this in the Way that Jesus has taught us. These men say that this is not the right way. But I believe in all God's Law that Moses wrote for us. I also believe in the messages that God's prophets have written in the Bible. 15I also trust God like these men do. Like them, I believe that people will become alive again after death. God will do this for all people, both good people and bad people.

Commentaries on Acts 24:13

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13Neither can they prove the things … - That is, that I am a mover of sedition, or a disturber of the peace of the people. This appeal he boldly makes; he challenges investigation; and as they did not offer to specify any acts of disorder or tumult excited by him, this charge falls of course.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 10-21Verses 10-21 Paul gives a just account of himself, which clears him from crime, and likewise shows the true reason of the violence against him. Let us never be driven from any good way by its having an ill name. It is very comfortable, in worshipping God, to look to him as the God of our fathers, and to set up no other rule of faith or practice but the Scriptures. This shows there will be a resurrection to a final judgment. Prophets and their doctrines…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10-21Paul defended himself by saying: he was not in Jerusalem long enough to start a riot; none of those who accused him saw him causing a riot; and he worshiped according to Jewish law and the writings of the prophets.Read the comment
