commanding officer <5506> [The chief.]
As the chief captain did not understand Hebrew, he was ignorant of the charge against Paul, and also of the defence which the apostle had made; but as he saw that they grew more and more outrageous, he supposed that Paul must have given them the highest provocation, and therefore, according to the barbarous and irrational practice which has existed in all countries, he determined to put him to the torture, in order to make him confess his crime.

That is, the chain with which he was bound to the "soldier that kept him;" (ver. 16;) a mode of custody which Dr. Lardner has shown was in use among the Romans. It is in exact conformity, therefore, with the truth of St. Paul's situation at this time, that he declares himself to be "an ambassador in a chain," [en <\\See definition 1722\\> halusis <\\See definition 254\\>,] (Eph 6:20;) and the exactness is the more remarkable, as [halusis <\\See definition 254\\>,] a chain is no where used in the singular number to express any other kind of custody.
