Acts 24:22

ἀνεβάλετο δὲ αὐτοὺς ὁ Φῆλιξ with אABCE. Vulg. ‘distulit autem illos Felix.’

22. ἀκριβέστερον εἰδὼς τὰ περὶ τῆς ὁδοῦ, having more perfect knowledge of the Way.

On ἡ ὁδὸς = the Christian religion, see on Acts 9:2. Felix was more likely to understand something of the relations between Judaism and Christianity, because he had a Jewish wife, Drusilla, daughter of Herod Agrippa I., one who had been brought by her position into connexion with the movements of the time.

ὄταν Λυσίας ὁ χιλίαρχος καταβῇ, when Lysias the chief captain shall come down. There had been nothing said in the letter of Lysias, so far as we have it, about his coming to Cæsarea, but no doubt he went often between Jerusalem and the residence of the governor. The language of this verse gives some support to the genuineness of Acts 24:7. (See note there.)

διαγνώσομαι τὰ καθ' ὑμᾶς, I will determine your matters. On διαγιγνώσκω see above, Acts 23:15.
