Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 24:11

11 Because that thou mayest understand▪ that there are yet but twelve days since I we[illegible: 1 letter]t up to Jerusalem [illegible: 1 letter]or to worship.

Either by what thou hast heard already, or by what the witnesses, when examined, will declare.

There were but Twelve days since Paul's coming to Ierusalem, Seven of them he had spent there, until the time of his purification was accomplished; and the Five other days he had been in custody, and at Cesarea: by which, St. Paul proves how unlikely it was, that in so short a time, he being a stranger in those parts, should raise any tumults.

He being so far from designing any mischief, that he only intended to worship God.
