SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:29

y hall� que le acusaban de cuestiones de la ley de ellos, y que ning�n crimen tenía digno de muerte o de prisi�n.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 29. Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law , etc.] As about the resurrection of the dead, and a future state, which some in the council denied, and some asserted, which with this heathen man were idle and foolish questions; or about the defiling of the temple, and speaking contemptibly of the law of Moses, the people of the Jews, and the holy place, which was the cry of the populace against him, and were things the captain knew little of: but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death, or of bonds : by the laws of the Romans; and yet he himself had bound him with two chains at the first taking of him, and afterwards ordered him to be bound with thongs, and scourged, of which he says nothing, being convinced of his error, and willing to hide it; however, he bears a full testimony to the innocence of the apostle.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 25-35 - God has instruments for every work. The natural abilities and mora virtues of the heathens often have been employed to protect his persecuted servants. Even the men of the world can discern between the conscientious conduct of upright believers, and the zeal of fals professors, though they disregard or understand not their doctrina principles. All hearts are in God's hand, and those are blessed who pu their trust in him, and commit their ways unto him __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies

29. Questions. See on ch. xv. 2.

Nothing - worthy of death or of bonds. Every Roman magistrate before whom the apostle is brought declares him innocent.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

23:29 {Concerning questions of their law} (peri zetemata tou nomou autwn). The very distinction drawn by Gallio in Corinth (#Ac 18:14f.). On the word see on #15:2. {But to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds} (meden de axion qanatou e desmwn econta enklema). Literally, "having no accusation (or crime) worthy of death or of bonds." this phrase here only in the N.T. egklema is old word for accusation or crime from egkalew used in verse #28 and in the N.T. only here and #25:16. Lysias thus expresses the opinion that Paul ought to be set free and the lenient treatment that Paul received in Caesarea and Rome (first imprisonment) is probably due to this report of Lysias. Every Roman civil officer before whom Paul appears declares him innocent (Gallio, Lysias, Felix, Festus).
