Because that thou mayest understand,.... 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, Ac 21:16 the next day he visited James and the elders, Ac 21:18 on the third day he purified himself in the temple, Ac 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, Ac 22:30 on the fifth day forty Jews conspire to take away his life, Ac 23:11, on the sixth day he came to Caesarea, being sent there by Lysias, Ac 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.
