Verse 7. The Jews-laid many and grievous complaints against Paul] As they must have perceived that the Roman governors would not intermeddle with questions of their law, &c., they no doubt invented some new charges, such as sedition, treason, &c., in order to render the mind of the governor evil affected towards Paul; but their malicious designs were defeated, for assertion would not go for proof before a Roman tribunal: this court required proof, and the blood-thirsty persecutors of the apostle could produce none.
