Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Acts 25:9

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

If this was meant in earnest, it was temporizing and vacillating. But, possibly, anticipating Paul's refusal, he wished merely to avoid the odium of refusing to remove the trial to Jerusalem. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-10" class="com-number"
