Act 23:26<\/span> ; Act 23:30<\/span> , are quite sufficient, he thinks, for “military brevity,” whilst Act 23:28<\/span> could not have been written by Lysias since he would have written an untruth. But it is quite conceivable that the Roman would not only try to conceal his previous hastiness, but to commend himself to the governor as the protector of a fellow-citizen.
