The Jews concurred
In the context of Acts 24, Paul is on trial before the Roman governor Felix. The Jewish leaders, including the high priest Ananias and a lawyer named Tertullus, have brought accusations against Paul. The phrase "The Jews concurred" indicates that the Jewish leaders were in agreement with the charges presented by Tertullus. This reflects the unity among the Jewish authorities in their opposition to Paul, who they saw as a threat to their religious traditions and authority. Historically, the Jewish leaders were often in conflict with early Christians, whom they viewed as a sect that deviated from traditional Jewish beliefs.

asserting that these charges were true
The charges against Paul included accusations of being a troublemaker, stirring up riots among the Jews, and attempting to desecrate the temple. The Jewish leaders were asserting the truth of these charges, despite the lack of evidence. This reflects a common theme in the New Testament where false accusations are made against followers of Christ. The insistence on the truth of these charges also highlights the tension between the early Christian movement and the Jewish authorities. This situation is reminiscent of the false accusations made against Jesus Christ, drawing a parallel between the experiences of Christ and His followers. The willingness of the Jewish leaders to assert these charges without evidence underscores the deep-seated opposition to the spread of the Gospel.

Teaching Points
The Danger of False Accusations
False accusations can have serious consequences and are condemned in Scripture. Believers should strive for truth and integrity in all their dealings.

Standing Firm in Faith
Like Paul, Christians may face unjust accusations or persecution. It is important to stand firm in faith and trust in God's justice.

The Role of Government and Justice
The trial of Paul highlights the role of government in administering justice. Believers are encouraged to pray for leaders and those in authority to act justly.

Unity in Truth, Not in Deceit
The unity of the Jews in their false testimony serves as a warning. True unity should be based on truth and righteousness, not deceit.

God's Sovereignty in Trials
Despite the false accusations, God is sovereign and uses trials for His purposes. Believers can find comfort in knowing that God is in control.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."
