“Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.”
Acts 28:18 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 28:18
Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go (ἀνακρίναντές με ἐβούλοντο ἀπολῦσαι)—Paul cites Roman authorities' findings of innocence across multiple trials: Claudius Lysias (Acts 23:29), Felix (Acts 24:22-23), and Festus (Acts 25:25). The phrase no cause of death in me (μηδεμίαν αἰτίαν θανάτου) echoes Pilate's threefold declaration of Jesus' innocence (Luke 23:4, 14, 22). This parallel demonstrates how suffering for righteousness identifies believers with Christ. Paul's innocence exposed the Jewish leaders' charges as politically motivated persecution, not legitimate justice.
