Charles Ellicott Commentary Acts 26:31

"and when they had withdrawn, they spake one to another, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds." — Acts 26:31 (ASV)

This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.—St. Luke obviously dwells on the witness thus given to St. Paul’s innocence. To us, knowing him as we do, the anxiety to record the witness seems superfluous; but it was not so when the historian wrote. The charge of what we should call lawless and revolutionary tendencies had been too often brought against the Apostle (Acts 17:6), and was too prevalent against his followers, for him to willingly pass over such a record.
