/to_have/_sent_away /was/_able ¬the man this
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [You could have released this man]
26:32 He could have been set free: The legal verdict was clear (26:31). But as a practical matter, if he hadn’t appealed to Caesar, Paul might not have been alive (25:1-11). As it was, he was fulfilling God’s purposes for him (23:11).
