ACC ~ Acts 23 v30

THE ROLE PLAYED BY OUTSIDERS. CHRYSOSTOM: See how Paul is reckoned innocent through the vote of the foreigners, like Christ with Pilate. See how their evil intentions are defeated: they handed him over, so that he might be killed and condemned, but the opposite happened, and he was saved and found innocent. If things did not go this way, [Paul] would have been torn into pieces, would have perished, would have been condemned. CATENA ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES 23.28-30.
