Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then the chief captain came near,.... To the place where the Jews were beating Paul:
and took him the Arabic version adds, "from them"; he rescued him out of their hands, as he himself says, Acts 23:27.
And commanded him to be bound with two chains: partly to appease the people, and partly to secure Paul; who, he supposed, had been guilty of some misdemeanour, which had occasioned this tumult; these two chains were put, one on one arm, and the other on the other arm; and were fastened to two soldiers, who walked by him, having hold on those chains, the one on his right hand, and the other on his left; and thus Agabus's prophecy in Acts 21:11 was fulfilled:
and demanded who he was; or asked and inquired about him, who he was, of what nation he was, what was his character, business, and employment: this inquiry was made, either of the apostle himself, or of the people; and so the Arabic version renders it, "he inquired of them who he was"; also
and what he had done; what crime he had been guilty of, that they used him in such a manner.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
To be bound with two chains - To show to the enraged multitude that he did not intend to rescue anyone from justice, but to keep the peace. Paul’s Being thus bound would convince them of his determination that justice should be done in the case. Probably he was bound between two soldiers, his right arm to the left arm of the one, and his left arm to the right arm of the other. See the notes on Acts 12:6. Or, if his hands and feet were bound, it is evident that it was so done that he was able still to walk, Acts 21:37-38. This was in accordance with the prediction of Agabus, Acts 21:11.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 33. And took him — With great violence, according to Acts 24:7, probably meaning an armed force.
To be bound with two chains — To be bound between two soldiers; his right hand chained to the left hand of the one, and his left hand to the right of the other. Acts 12:6; Acts 12:6.
