Acts 26:31

and as they were leaving they said to one another, ¹  “This man is not doing anything deserving ²  death or imprisonment.”

2Sa 24:17; Lu 23:4,14,15; Ac 23:9,29; Ac 25:25; Ac 28:18; 1Pe 3:16; 1Pe 4:14-16

¹ tn Grk “they spoke to one another saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant in English and has not been translated.

² tn BDAG 93 s.v. ἄξιος 1.b has “θανάτου ἢ δεσμῶν ἄ. nothing deserving death or imprisonment 23:29; 26:31.”

sn Not doing anything deserving death… Here is yet another declaration of Paul’s innocence, but still no release. The portrayal shows how unjust Paul’s confinement was.
