Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 23:22

22 So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man, that thou hast shewed these things to me.

The Chief Captain shews by this, his care, both for St. Paul, and for the young man too; for had it been known that he had discovered their conspiracy, they would have sought his life, and might divers ways have taken it away; and as for Paul, being disappointed in this, they would have made other attempts against him.
