Acts 22:22

ἄχρι τούτου τοῦ λόγου, unto this word, i.e. Gentiles. It is probable that here and there in the speech the Apostle may not have entirely pleased them. Their feelings however could not be restrained when the hated name was spoken to them by one who professed to be bearing abroad the message of Jehovah.

οὐ γὰρ καθῆκεν αὐτὸν ζῇν, for it was not fit that he should live, i.e. he ought to have been put to death long ago. Cf. Sir 10:23, οὐ καθῆκεν δοξάσαι ἄνδρα ἁμαρτωλόν, i.e. it neither is nor ever has been proper to magnify a sinful man. In which passage however the Vat. MS. reads καθήκει.
