When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
The governor read the letter and asked what province Paul was from. Learning that he was from Cilicia,
And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
And when he had read it, he asked of what province he was; and when he understood that he was of Cilicia,
And after reading it, he said, What part of the country do you come from? And, hearing that he was from Cilicia,
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia; I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. Already Lysias has spoken for his exculpation; but the Jews seek to gain the hearer beforehand. And he ordered him to be kept in custody in Herod's praetorium: again Paul is put in bonds.
Matthew Henry · Verses 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.
