Contextual Overview

¹⁰ The Paul, after that the deputie hym selfe had beckened vnto hym that he shoulde speake, aunswered: With a more quiet mynde do I aunswere for my selfe, forasmuch as I vnderstande, that thou haste ben of many yeres a iudge vnto this nation: ¹¹ Because that thou mayest knowe, that there are yet but twelue dayes, sence I went vp to Hierusalem for to worshyp. ¹² And they neither founde me in the temple disputyng with any man, either raysyng vp the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the citie. ¹³ Neither can they proue the thynges wherof they accuse me. ¹⁴ But this I confesse vnto thee, that after the way which they call heresie, so worship I the God of my fathers, beleuyng all thynges which are written in the lawe and the prophetes, ¹⁵ And haue hope towardes God, that the resurrection of the dead which they them selues loke for also, shalbe both of the iust and vniust. ¹⁶ And herein studie I, to haue alway a cleare conscience toward God, and toward men. ¹⁷ Nowe after many yeres, I came and brought almes to my nation, and offerynges: ¹⁸ In the which they founde me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor yet with vnquietnesse: Howbeit, there were certayne Iewes out of Asia, ¹⁹ Which ought to be here present before thee, & accuse me, yf they had ought agaynst me:

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Or else let these same here say,.... They that are present, the high priest and the elders, who were come down to accuse him:

if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council; or "Jewish sanhedrim"; when he was brought before them by the chief captain, Acts 22:30 meaning, if any evil was then done by him, or any iniquity proved upon him, let it be declared; for as for his imprecation, or prophecy, that God would smite the high priest, he excused himself on that head, as not knowing it was the high priest.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Or else - Since they are not here to witness against me in regard to what occurred in the temple, let these here present bear witness against me, if they can, in regard to any other part of my conduct. This was a bold appeal, and it showed his full consciousness of innocence.

Let these same here say - The Jews who are here present.

Any evil doing - Any improper conduct, or any violation of the Law.

While I stood before the council - The Sanhedrin, Acts 23:1-10. As they were present there, Paul admits that they were competent to bear witness to his conduct on that occasion, and calls upon them to testify, if they could, to any impropriety in his conduct.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 24:20. Any evil doing in me while I stood before the council — The Jews of Asia, the most competent witnesses, though my declared enemies, and they who stirred up the persecution against me, should have been here: why are they kept back? Because they could prove nothing against me. Let these, therefore, who are here, depose, if they have found any evil in me, or proved against me, by my most virulent adversaries, when examined before them in their council at Jerusalem.
