Or else let these same here say, etc.] They that are present, the high priest and the elders, who were come down to accuse him: if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council; or “Jewish sanhedrim”; when he was brought before them by the chief captain, (<442230>Acts 22:30, 23:1) meaning, if any evil was then done by him, or any iniquity proved upon him, let it be declared; for as for his imprecation, or prophecy, that God would smite the high priest, he excused himself on that head, as not knowing it was the high priest.
