Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 21. - And for but, A.V.; that in Jerusalem made havoc of for that destroyed them (which called on this Name) in Jerusalem, A.V.; and he had come hither for this intent for and came hither for that intent, A.V., differently stopped; before for unto, A.V. The chief priests. The plural seems to mark how the high priesthood at this period was passed from one to another. Caiaphas, Annas, Jonathan, and Theophilus would all be included under the term.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(21) That destroyed them which called on this name.--Better, made havock of them. It is noticeable that St. Paul uses the same verb as descriptive of his own conduct in Galatians 1:13, where the English version has "wasted." On "them which called on this name," see Note on Acts 9:16.And came hither.--More accurately, had come hither, as implying that the purpose of his coming had been abandoned.
