The Jews concurred
This phrase indicates a collective agreement among the Jewish leaders present at Paul's trial. The Greek word used here is "συνεπέθεντο" (synepethento), which means to join in or agree with. Historically, this reflects the unity among the Jewish authorities in their opposition to Paul. This collective agreement underscores the significant pressure Paul faced, as it wasn't just a single accuser but a unified front. In a broader scriptural context, this unity in opposition can be seen as a fulfillment of Jesus' warnings to His disciples that they would face persecution and opposition (John 15:18-20).

asserting
The Greek word for "asserting" is "διαβεβαιούμενοι" (diabebaioumenoi), which conveys a strong affirmation or insistence on the truth of a statement. This term suggests that the Jews were not merely presenting their case but were emphatically insisting on the validity of their accusations. This reflects the intensity of their opposition to Paul and their determination to see him condemned. In a spiritual sense, this can remind believers of the importance of standing firm in truth, even when faced with vehement opposition.

that these charges were true
The phrase "these charges" refers to the accusations brought against Paul, which included inciting riots among the Jews and profaning the temple (Acts 24:5-6). The Greek word for "charges" is "κατηγορίαι" (katēgoriai), which means accusations or charges. The historical context here is crucial, as these charges were serious and could lead to severe punishment, including death. The insistence on their truthfulness highlights the gravity of the situation Paul was in. From a scriptural perspective, this moment is a testament to Paul's unwavering faith and commitment to his mission, as he stands firm despite the false accusations, much like Jesus did during His own trials. This serves as an inspiration for believers to remain steadfast in their faith, trusting in God's justice and truth.

Verse 9. - Joined in the charge for assented, A.V. and T.R.; affirming for saying, A.V. Joined in the charge. The reading of the R.T., συνεπέθεντο, means "joined in the attack upon," as in the LXX. of Deuteronomy 32:27 ("behave themselves strangely," A.V.); Psalm 3:6 (Codex Alexandrinus; "set themselves against me," A.V.) The συνέθεντο of the T.R. means "agreed" (as John 9:22), "assented."
