  4. 62 L&N 25.223 has “ ‘none of these things were of any concern to Gallio’ Ac 18:17.” Rome was officially indifferent to such disputes. Gallio understood how sensitive some Jews would be about his meddling in their affairs. This is similar to the way Pilate dealt with Jesus. In the end, he let the Jewish leadership and people make the judgment against Jesus.
