  That is, the chain with which he was bound to the 'soldier
  that kept him;' (ver. 16;) a mode of custody which Dr. Lardner
  has shown was in use among the Romans.  It is in exact
  conformity, therefore, with the truth of Paul's situation
  at this time, that he declares himself to be 'an ambassador in
  a chain,' [en <1722> halusis <254>,] (Ep. 20 6:20;) and the
  exactness is the more remarkable, as [halusis <254>,] a chain
  is no where used in the singular number to express any other
  kind of custody.

         CONCLUDING REMARKS ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES.

The Acts of the Apostles is a most valuable portion of Divine
revelation; and, independently of its universal reception in the
Christian church, as an authentic and inspired production, it
bears the most satisfactory internal evidence of its
authenticity and truth.  Luke's long attendance upon
Paul, and his having been an eyewitness of many of the facts
which he has recorded, independently of his Divine inspiration,
render him a most suitable and credible historian; and his
medical knowledge, for he is allowed to have been a physician,
enabled him both to form a proper judgment of the miraculous
cures which were performed by Paul, and to give an
authentic and circumstantial detail of them.  The plainness and
simplicity of the narrative are also strong circumstances in its
favor.  The history of the Acts is one of the most important
parts of the Sacred History, for without it neither the Gospels
nor Epistles could have been so clearly understood; but by the
aid of it the whole scheme of the Christian revelation is set
before us in a clear and easy view.
