Acts 25:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 25:16

14 When they had been there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying: ^a“There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix,

15 ^aabout whom the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, when I was in Jerusalem, asking for a judgment against him.

16 ^aTo them I answered, ‘It is not the custom of the Romans to deliver any man¹ to destruction before the accused meets the accusers face to face, and has opportunity to answer for himself concerning the charge against him.’

17 Therefore when they had come together, ^awithout any delay, the next day I sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought in.

18 When the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation against him of such things as I¹ supposed,

19 ^abut had some questions against him about their own religion and about a certain Jesus, who had died, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

20 And because I was uncertain of such questions, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.
