Atti 26:32 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 26:32

Then said Agrippa unto Festus
As declaring his sense, and by way of advice and counsel; but not as determining anything himself, for that lay in the breast of Festus, the Roman governor and judge:

this man might have been set at liberty;
from his bonds and imprisonment; for ought that appears against him, or any law to the contrary:

if he had not appealed unto Caesar;
wherefore an inferior judge could not release him; but so it was ordered in divine Providence, that he should appeal to Caesar, that he might go to Rome, and there bear a testimony for Christ; however, this declaration of Agrippa, and what he and the governor and the rest said among themselves, are a considerable proof of the innocence of the apostle.

31 E ritrattisi in disparte, parlavano gli uni agli altri, dicendo: Quest’uomo non ha fatto nulla che meriti morte, o prigione.

32 Ed Agrippa disse a Festo: Quest’uomo poteva esser liberato, se non si fosse richiamato a Cesare.
