SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:9
Y contendían también los judíos, diciendo ser así estas cosas.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. And the Jews also assented , etc.] That is, Ananias the high priest, and the elders that were with him, agreed to what Tertullus said, and confirmed the same. Saying, that these things were so ; that Paul was such a person, and was guilty of the crimes he had set forth; and that the chief captain had taken the steps, and done the things he had related.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - See here the unhappiness of great men, and a great unhappiness it is to have their services praised beyond measure, and never to be faithfully told of their faults; hereby they are hardened an encouraged in evil, like Felix. God's prophets were charged with being troublers of the land, and our Lord Jesus Christ, that he perverted the nation; the very same charges were brought against Paul. The selfis and evil passions of men urge them forward, and the graces and power of speech, too often have been used to mislead and prejudice men agains the truth. How different will the characters of Paul and Felix appea at the day of judgement, from what they are represented in the speec of Tertullus! Let not Christians value the applause, or be troubled a the revilings of ungodly men, who represent the vilest of the huma race almost as gods, and the excellent of the earth as pestilences an movers of sedition.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
9. Assented (suneqento). But the best texts read sunepeqento, jointly set upon or assailed. So Rev., joined in the charge.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
24:9 {Joined in the charge} (sunepeqento). Second aorist middle indicative of sunepitiqemi, old verb, double compound, to place upon (epi) together with (sun), to make a joint attack, here only in the N.T. {Affirming} (faskontes). Alleging, with the accusative in indirect assertion as in #25:19; Ro 1:22 (nominative with infinitive, Robertson, _Grammar_, p. 1038). {Were so} (houtws ecein), "held thus," common idiom.
