Acts 24:14-16
24:14 a the Way: See study note on 9:2.• Paul emphasized his common ground with his Jewish audience, including his worship, belief in the Jewish law, acceptance of the prophets, and hope in the resurrection (24:14 b, 15 c; see 24:21 d).
24:15 e At the last judgment God will raise both the righteous and the unrighteous. Paul kept this final appointment with God constantly in mind (24:16 f). The fear of the “coming day of judgment” unnerved Felix in a subsequent conversation with Paul (24:25 g).
24:16 h Paul stressed that he had acted with a clear conscience (see 20:27 i, 33 j; 23:1 k; 1 Cor 4:4 l; 2 Cor 1:12 m; 4:2 n; see also 2 Tim 1:3 o). He had not departed from his Jewish heritage (Acts 24:14 p), and he had no fear of God’s judgment (24:15 q).
