SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:11

Porque t puedes entender que no hace ms de doce días que subí a adorar a Jerusaln;

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 24:11

Verse 11. There are yet but twelve days] This is his reply to their charge of
sedition; the improbability of which is shown from the short time he had spent in Jerusalem, quite insufficient to organize a sedition of any kind; nor could a single proof be furnished that he had attempted to seduce any man, or unhinge any person from his allegiance by subtle disputations, either in the temple, the synagogues, or the city. So that this charge necessarily fell to the ground, self-confuted, unless they could bring substantial proof against him, which he challenges them to do.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 11. Because that thou mayest understand , etc.] By what
Paul now asserted, and by the witnesses which he could produce to certify the truth of it: that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship ; that is, from the time that he went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem, to the present time, in which he stood before Felix, pleading his own cause; which may be reckoned, thus, he came in one day from Caesarea to Jerusalem, ( Acts 21:16,17) the next day he visited James and the elders, ( Acts 21:18) on the third day he purified himself in the temple, ( Acts 21:26) where he was taken and used ill by the Jews; on the fourth day, he was brought before the sanhedrim, and defended himself, ( Acts 22:30) on the fifth day forty Jews conspire to take away his life, ( Acts 23:11), on the sixth day he came to Caesarea, being sent there by Lysias, ( Acts 23:32) and five days after this, which make eleven, Ananias, and the elders, with Tertullus, came down to accuse him; and this day was the twelfth, on which his trial came on. And of these twelve days he was a prisoner nine, and therefore could not have done so much mischief, and stirred up so much sedition as was insinuated; and in opposition to the charge of profaning the temple, he observes that he came up to Jerusalem to worship; namely, at the feast of Pentecost.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 10-21 -
Paul gives a just account of himself, which clears him from crime, an likewise shows the true reason of the violence against him. Let u never be driven from any good way by its having an ill name. It is very comfortable, in worshipping God, to look to him as the God of ou fathers, and to set up no other rule of faith or practice but the Scriptures. This shows there will be a resurrection to a fina judgment. Prophets and their doctrines were to be tried by their fruits. Paul's aim was to have a conscience void of offence. His car and endeavour was to abstain from many things, and to abound in the exercises of religion at all times; both towards God. and towards man If blamed for being more earnest in the things of God than ou neighbours, what is our reply? Do we shrink from the accusation? Ho many in the world would rather be accused of any weakness, nay, even of wickedness, than of an earnest, fervent feeling of love to the Lor Jesus Christ, and of devotedness to his service! Can such think that He will confess them when he comes in his glory, and before the angels of God? If there is any sight pleasing to the God of our salvation, and sight at which the angels rejoice, it is, to behold a devoted followe of the Lord, here upon earth, acknowledging that he is guilty, if it be a crime, of loving the Lord who died for him, with all his heart, an soul, and mind, and strength. And that he will not in silence see God' word despised, or hear his name profaned; he will rather risk the ridicule and the hatred of the world, than one frown from that graciou Being whose love is better than life.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

24:11 {Seeing that thou canst take
knowledge} (dunamenou sou epignwnai). Genitive absolute again. The same word and form (epignwnai) used by Tertullus, if in Greek, in verse #8 to Felix. Paul takes it up and repeats it. {Not more than twelve days} (ou pleious hemerai dwdeka). Here e (than) is absent without change of case to the ablative as usually happens. But this idiom is found in the _Koin_ (Robertson, _Grammar_, p. 666). {Since} (af' hes). Supply hemeras, "from which day." {To worship} (proskuneswn). One of the few examples of the future participle of purpose so common in the old Attic.
