Qui devaient comparaître devant toi, et m'accuser, s'ils avaient quelque chose contre moi.
Mais que ceux-ci même déclarent s'ils m'ont trouvé coupable de quelque chose, lorsque j'ai comparu devant le Sanhédrin,
ou bien, que ceux-ci eux-mêmes disent quelle injustice ils ont trouvée en moi, quand j'ai été devant le sanhédrin,

Reciprocal: 1 Samuel 12:5 - ye have 1 Kings 18:18 - I have not Daniel 6:5 - General
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Or else let these same here say,.... They that are present, the high priest and the elders, who were come down to accuse him:
if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council; or "Jewish sanhedrim"; when he was brought before them by the chief captain, Acts 22:30 meaning, if any evil was then done by him, or any iniquity proved upon him, let it be declared; for as for his imprecation, or prophecy, that God would smite the high priest, he excused himself on that head, as not knowing it was the high priest.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Or else - Since they are not here to witness against me in regard to what occurred in the temple, let these here present bear witness against me, if they can, in regard to any other part of my conduct. This was a bold appeal, and it showed his full consciousness of innocence.
Let these same here say - The Jews who are here present.
Any evil doing - Any improper conduct, or any violation of the Law.
While I stood before the council - The Sanhedrin, Acts 23:1-10. As they were present there, Paul admits that they were competent to bear witness to his conduct on that occasion, and calls upon them to testify, if they could, to any impropriety in his conduct.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Acts 24:20. Any evil doing in me while I stood before the council — The Jews of Asia, the most competent witnesses, though my declared enemies, and they who stirred up the persecution against me, should have been here: why are they kept back? Because they could prove nothing against me. Let these, therefore, who are here, depose, if they have found any evil in me, or proved against me, by my most virulent adversaries, when examined before them in their council at Jerusalem.
