desired favour--in Ac 25:15, "judgment." against him--It would seem that they had the insolence to ask him to have the prisoner executed even without a trial (Ac 25:16). laying wait . . . to kill him--How deep must have been their hostility, when two years after the defeat of their former attempt, they thirst as keenly as ever for his blood!
