Tell no man ( mēdeni eklalēsai ).

Indirect command ( oratio obliqua ) after paraggeilas (charging) with first aorist active infinitive of ekaleō (in ancient Greek, but here only in N.T.), but construction changed to direct in rest of the sentence ( oratio recta ) as in Act 1:4, "that thou hast signified these things to me"(hoti tauta enephanisas pros eme ). Same verb here as in Act 23:15. This change is common in the N.T. (Robertson, Grammar , p. 1047).

JFB: Act 23:16-22 - -- (See on Act 9:30). If he was at this time residing at Jerusalem for his education, like Paul himself, he may have got at the schools those hints of th...

(See on Act 9:30). If he was at this time residing at Jerusalem for his education, like Paul himself, he may have got at the schools those hints of the conspiracy on which he so promptly acted.

The chief captain shows by this his care, both for St. Paul, and for the young man too; for had it been known that he had discovered their conspiracy, they would have sought his life, and might divers ways have taken it away; and as for Paul, being disappointed in this, they would have made other attempts against him.

Gill: Act 23:22 - -- So the chief captain then let the young man depart,.... After he had had the account from him, and was master of the whole affair: and charged him,...

So the chief captain then let the young man depart,.... After he had had the account from him, and was master of the whole affair:

and charged him, see thou tell no man that thou hast showed these things to me; which was prudently said; it was a right and wise thing to conceal this matter, that the men might go on with their designs, and an opportunity be taken to convey Paul away, before the time came fixed by them to execute them; for otherwise, should it have been known that their plot was discovered, they would have entered upon new measures.
