On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, &c.--In this fulsome flattery there was a semblance of truth: nothing more. Felix acted with a degree of vigor and success in suppressing lawless violence [JOSEPHUS, Antiquities, 20.8.4; confirmed by TACITUS, Annals, 12.54]. by thy providence--a phrase applied to the administration of the emperors.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Princes cannot always judge of the affections of their people by their applauses; flattery is one thing, and true loyalty is another. One of the best of men is here accused as one of the worst of malefactors, only because he was the prisoner.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

But that I may not trouble thee any further - By trespassing either on thy patience or modesty. The eloquence of Tertullus was as bad as his cause: a lame introduction, a lame transition, and a lame conclusion.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
