The High Priest and His Question
Acts 7:1-53
Then said the high priest, Are these things so?…


This functionary was probably Theophilus, son-in-law of Caiaphas. The ex-officio president of the council called for the defence against the charge of blasphemy (Acts 6:13, 14). The question, equivalent to guilty or not guilty, appears to have been put with great mildness, possibly under the influence of the angel-like aspect.

(Bp. Jacobson.)
