Acts 23:29

Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.

Cross-reference

In Acts 23:6-9, Paul starts a Pharisee-Sadducee dispute over the resurrection — the 'questions about their law' that the commander finds here.

Acts 18:15 Parallel

In Acts 18:15, Gallio dismisses Jewish disputes about their own law — the same recognition as here that the matter is not a Roman crime.

Acts 24:5 Contrast

In Acts 24:5, Tertullus calls Paul a ringleader of the Nazarenes — a serious accusation contrasting with the commander's finding of no death-worthy charge.

Acts 24:6 Contrast

In Acts 24:6, Tertullus accuses Paul of temple desecration — a capital charge that contrasts with the commander's assessment here.

In Acts 24:10-21, Paul confirms the dispute is about the resurrection and denies any wrongdoing — aligning with the commander's finding here.

Acts 25:7 Parallel

In Acts 25:7, the Jews bring many serious but unproven charges, confirming that no Roman crime existed as found in 23:29.

Acts 25:8 Parallel

In Acts 25:8, Paul's defense—no offense against Caesar—aligns with the earlier verdict of no death-worthy offense.

Acts 25:11 Parallel

In Acts 25:11, Paul appeals to Caesar, asserting he is not guilty of anything deserving death, mirroring the finding in 23:29.

Acts 25:19 Parallel

In Acts 25:25, Festus states Paul has done nothing deserving death — the same conclusion reached by the commander here.

Acts 25:20 Parallel

In Acts 25:20, Festus's perplexity about investigating Jewish law echoes the same realization: Paul's charges are religious, not criminal.

Acts 25:25 Parallel

In Acts 25:25, Festus states plainly that Paul has done nothing deserving death, directly repeating the conclusion from 23:29.

Acts 26:31 Parallel

In Acts 26:31, Agrippa and Festus conclude Paul deserves neither death nor prison, reaffirming the verdict from 23:29.

In Jeremiah 26:16, officials declare Jeremiah does not deserve death, just as Paul was found innocent of capital charges—a strong parallel.
