What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom

As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders." "How does this appear?" As witnesses he brings forward the high-priest himself and the elders. He says indeed, "Being a zealot, as ye:" but he shows by his actions, that he went beyond them. …
Theophylact of Ohrid
"A zealot," he says. Since Paul had already spoken many praises of himself, he summarizes: "As you all are today." But pay attention to how many witnesses he appeals to: both the elders, and the high priest, and the citizens. Up to this point he has witnesses; but the subsequent content of the speech no longer finds witnesses.
