2-11-24 Paul's Interrogation Acts 23-1-11

After Paul was done speaking to the angry mob, they yelled “Away with Him” and they were intent on killing him. The commander needed to calm the crowd down so he had Paul removed and put in custody. When the commander found out that he was a Roman citizen he was afraid by the way he treated Paul and put him in protective custody.

On the following day the commander had Paul brought be for the Jewish council (the Sanhedrin) to find out why the crowd was in such an uproar and wanted to kill him, but he didn’t have any charges to bring against Paul in order to keep him imprisoned. Paul knew that he had done nothing to violate any law but was accused of teaching about the resurrection of the dead through Jesus Christ. The commander was sure that Paul must be guilty of something and he needed to figure out what it was, otherwise he had no good reason to keep him bound.
