I am currently reading John Calvin's commentary on Acts and came across something unusual. As Festus narrates Paul's case before Agrippa concerning "a certain Jesus who was dead, but whom Paul asserted to be alive" (25:19), Calvin remarked, "the wicked to lightly pass over whatsoever is spoken, as if a man should tell them a tale of Robin Hood." (Calvin's Commentaries, 19: 367)
