"After five days" When on the next day the Jews came to request that Paul be brought and reexamined by the Sanhedrin (Acts 23:15), they found that he had been moved to Caesarea, and that the Roman governor had ordered them to appear there and present their case (Acts 23:35). This expression can mean either after five days from Paul's departure from Jerusalem or five days after his arrival in Caesarea. "With an attorney named Tertullus" This man's name is pronounced tur tuhl uhs. The name is Roman and it appears that the Sanhedrin had hired. Roman attorney, "because they now had to appear in. regular Roman court, and they must have. man familiar with the proceedings in such. court to represent them" (McGarvey p. 234).
