| Ac 24:19 | King James | Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Who ought to have been here ... - They were the proper witnesses, and as they had staid away it showed that they were not prepared to undergo a strict examination. They alone could testify as to anything that occurred in the temple; and as they were not present, that charge ought to be dismissed. |
