ACTS 24:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.”

Church Fathers on Acts 24:9
But the tribune Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, commanding his accusers to come unto you]: by examining of whom yourself may take knowledge of all these things, where of we accuse him. And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so. Acts 24:7-9. What then says Paul?
