Acts 25:26 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 25:26

Of whom I have no certain thing
No certain crime, charge, or accusation; nothing of any moment or consequence, no particular thing, nothing but a heap of confused notions, of I know not who or what:

to write unto my lord;
meaning the Roman emperor, under whom he served as governor of Judea:

wherefore I have brought him before you;
the whole company then present:

and especially before thee, O King Agrippa;
as being not only a man of eminence, dignity, and authority, but of knowledge in such matters, which the Jews accused Paul of; see ( Acts 26:2 Acts 26:3 ) .

That after examination had;
of Paul, and his case;

I might have somewhat to write;
concerning him, and the charges exhibited against him to the emperor.

Acts 25:26 In-Context

24 Festus said, "King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Yehudim petitioned me, both at Yerushalayim and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him.
26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him forth before you, and especially before you, king Agrippa, that, after examination, I may have something to write.
27 For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him."
