  God did smite him in a remarkable manner; for about five years

  he was dragged out and slain.

VERSE 4


VERSE 5 
 - I wist.
  Soon after the holding of the first council at Jerusalem,
  Ananias, son of Nebedenus, was deprived of the high priest's
  office, for certain acts of violence, and sent to Rome, whence
  he was afterwards released, and returned to Jerusalem.
  Between the death of Jonathan, who succeeded him and was
  murdered by Felix, and the high priesthood of Ismael, who was
  invested with that office by Agrippa, an interval elapsed in
  which this dignity was vacant.  This was the precise time when
  Paul was apprehended; and the Sanhedrin being destitute of
  a president, Ananias undertook to discharge the office.  It is
  probable that Paul was ignorant of this circumstance.

  Such execrable vows as these were not unusual among the Jews,
  who, from their perverted traditions, challenged to themselves
  a right of punishing without any legal process, those whom
  they considered transgressors of the law; and in some cases,
  as in the case of one who had forsaken the law of Moses, they
  thought they were justified in killing them.  They therefore
  made no scruple of acquainting the chief priests and elders
  with their conspiracy against the life of Paul, and applying
  for their collusion and support; who, being chiefly of the
  sect of the Sadducees, and the apostle's bitterest enemies,
  were so far from blaming them for it, that they gladly aided
  and abetted them in this mode of dispatching him, and on its
  failure they soon afterwards determined upon making a similar
  attempt. (ch. 2 25:2, 3.)  If these were, in their bad way,
  conscientious men, they were under no necessity of perishing
  for hunger, when the providence of God had hindered them from
  accomplishing their vow; for their vows of abstinence from
  eating and drinking were as easy to loose as to bind, any of
  their wise men or Rabbis having power to absolve them, as Dr.
  Lightfoot has shown from the Talmud.
