Gill's Notes on the Bible
Who when they had examined me,.... About the things laid to his charge, had heard what his accusers had to object to him, and the defence he made for himself:
would have let [me] go; released him from his bonds, and set him at liberty to go where he pleased:
because there was no cause of death in me; no crime proved upon him, which was worthy of death; and this was the sense of Lysias the chief captain, and of Felix and Festus the Roman governors, and of King Agrippa.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
When they had examined me ... - Acts 24:10-27; Acts 25:0; Acts 26:31-32.
No cause of death - No crime worthy of death.
