VERSE (32) -
Ac 23:23,24

SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:32

el cual tomando luego soldados y centuriones, corri a ellos. Y ellos como vieron al tribuno y a los soldados, cesaron de herir a Pablo.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 21:32

Verse 32.
Ran down unto them] Ran down the stairs to the porticoes mentioned above.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 32. Who immediately took
soldiers and centurions , etc.] A very large number of soldiers, for they are called an army, in ( Acts 23:27) with a sufficient number of officers called centurions, who were each of them over an hundred men, to command them, and put them in order: and ran down unto them : from the tower to the temple, the outer part of it; perhaps the mountain of the house, where they had dragged Paul, and were beating him; hither the captain, with his officers and soldiers, came in great haste; all which shows his vigilance, prudence, and quick dispatch; and in which there was a remarkable appearance of divine providence in favour of the apostle, who otherwise in all likelihood would have quickly lost his life: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers ; coming down upon them in great haste, with sword in hand: they left beating of Paul ; this beating was what the Jews call tydrm twkm , the rebels beating; or beating, on account of rebellion and obstinacy; and differed from whipping or scourging, which was done by the order of the sanhedrim, and in measure with forty stripes save one; but this beating was without any order from a court of judicature, and was without measure and mercy: this was inflicted upon various offenders, particularly on such who received not admonitions given them, or transgressed by doing what was forbidden by the words of the wise men f1107 ; or if any defiled person entered into the court of the women; and such the people would fall upon at once, and beat them unmercifully with their fists, or with clubs and staves, and which often issued in death; so, for instance, when a priest ministered in his uncleanness, his brethren the priests did not bring him to the sanhedrim, but the young priests brought him without the court, and dashed his brains out with clubs f1108 Ver. 33. Then the chief captain came near , etc.] To the place where the Jews were beating Paul: and took him the Arabic version adds, from them; he rescued him out of their hands, as he himself says, ( Acts 23:27). And commanded him to be bound with two chains : partly to appease the people, and partly to secure Paul; who, he supposed, had been guilty of some misdemeanour, which had occasioned this tumult; these two chains were put, one on one arm, and the other on the other arm; and were fastened to two soldiers, who walked by him, having hold on those chains, the one on his right hand, and the other on his left; and thus Agabuss prophecy in ( Acts 21:11) was fulfilled: and demanded who he was ; or asked and inquired about him, who he was, of what nation he was, what was his character, business, and employment: this inquiry was made, either of the apostle himself, or of the people; and so the Arabic version renders it, he inquired of them who he was; also and what he had done ; what crime he had been guilty of, that they used him in such a manner.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 27-40 - In the
temple, where Paul should have been protected as in a place of safety, he was violently set upon. They falsely charged him with il doctrine and ill practice against the Mosaic ceremonies. It is no ne thing for those who mean honestly and act regularly, to have thing laid to their charge which they know not and never thought of. It is common for the wise and good to have that charged against them by malicious people, with which they thought to have obliged them. God often makes those a protection to his people, who have no affection to them, but only have compassion for sufferers, and regard to the publi peace. And here see what false, mistaken notions of good people an good ministers, many run away with. But God seasonably interposes for the safety of his servants, from wicked and unreasonable men; and give them opportunities to speak for themselves, to plead for the Redeemer and to spread abroad his glorious gospel __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies

32. Centurions. See on
Luke vii. 2.

Unto them (ep autouv). Better, upon them.


Robertson's NT Word Studies

21:32 {Forthwith} (exautes). Common in the _Koin_ (ex autes, supply hwras, hour). {He took} (paralabwn). See verses #24,26. {Centurions} (hekatontarcas). See on Lu 7:2 for discussion. Plural shows that Lysias the chiliarch took several hundred soldiers along (a centurion with each hundred). {Ran down} (katedramen). Effective second aorist active indicative of katatrecw. From the tower of Antonia, vivid scene. {And they} (hoi de). Demonstrative use of hoi. The Jewish mob who had begun the work of killing Paul (verse #31). {Left off beating Paul} (epausanto tuptontes ton paulon). The participle with pauomai describes what they were already doing, the supplementary participle (Robertson, _Grammar_, p. 1121). They stopped before the job was over because of the sudden onset of the Roman soldiers. Some ten years before in a riot at the passover the Roman guard marched down and in the panic several hundred were trampled to death.
