Acts 28:21 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 28:21
We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee—The Roman Jews' response reveals surprising ignorance of Paul's case. Their statement—neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee—indicates Jerusalem's Jewish leaders hadn't poisoned Roman opinion against him. This providential circumstance gave Paul fresh opportunity to present the gospel. The phrase 'any harm' (περί σου πονηρόν) suggests they expected negative reports but received none. God's sovereignty orchestrated this clean slate for Paul's Roman testimony.
