Theophylact of Ohrid, on Acts 24:26

“Hoping also withal, that money should be given him by Paul; for which cause also oftentimes sending for him, he spoke with him.”

“"Therefore he sent for him often and conversed with him." Do you see what truthfulness breathes in what is written? He sent for Paul often not because he admired him or because he approved of his words, and not because he wished to believe, but because he hoped that he would be given money.”
