rwp@Acts:26:22 @{Having therefore obtained} (\oun tuchn\). Second aorist active participle of old verb \tugchan\. {The help that is from God} (\epikourias ts apo tou theou\). Old word from \epikoure\, to aid, and that from \epikouros\, ally, assister. Only here in N.T. God is Paul's ally. All of the plots of the Jews against Paul had failed so far. {I stand} (\hestka\). Second perfect of \histmi\, to place, intransitive to stand. Picturesque word (Page) of Paul's stability and fidelity (cf. kjv@Phillipians:4:1; kjv@Ephesians:6:13|). {Both to small and great} (\mikri te kai megali\). Dative singular (rather than instrumental, taking \marturoumenos\ middle, not passive) and use of \te kai\ links the two adjectives together in an inclusive way. These two adjectives in the singular (representative singular rather than plural) can apply to age (young and old) or to rank (Revelation:11:18|) as is specially suitable here with Festus and Agrippa present. In kjv@Acts:8:10| (Hebrews:8:11|) the phrase explains \pantes\ (all). {Saying nothing but what} (\ouden ektos legn hn\). "Saying nothing outside of those things which." The ablative relative \hn\ is attracted into the case of the unexpressed antecedent \toutn\ and so ablative after \ektos\ (adverbial preposition common in LXX, the papyri. In N.T. here and kjv@1Corinthians:6:18; 15:27; kjv@2Corinthians:12:2f.|). Cf. kjv@Luke:16:29| about Moses and the prophets.
