“Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
23:25-35 God has instruments for every work. The natural abilities and moral 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 false professors, though they disregard or understand not their doctrinal principles. All hearts are in God's hand, and those are blessed who put their trust in him, and commit their ways unto him.
“Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.”
