Acts 22:12

_ _ Ananias, a devout man, according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there — One would not know from this description of Ananias that he was a Christian at all, the apostles object being to hold him up as unexceptionable, even to the most rigid Jews.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 22:3-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Acts 22:12

A devout man according to the law — A truly religious person, and though a believer in Christ, yet a strict observer of the law of Moses.
