Acts 26:30 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 26:30

And when he had thus spoken
These words are omitted in the Alexandrian copy, the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Ethiopic versions:

the king rose up;
from the judgment seat; that is, King Agrippa:

and the governor;
the Roman governor, Festus:

and Bernice:
the sister of King Agrippa:

and they that sat with them;
either in council, or to hear; the chief captains, and principal inhabitants of Caesarea.

Acts 26:30 In-Context

28 But Agrippa did answer: "Keep this up much longer and you'll make a Christian out of me!"

29 Paul, still in chains, said, "That's what I'm praying for, whether now or later, and not only you but everyone listening today, to become like me - except, of course, for this prison jewelry!"

30 The king and the governor, along with Bernice and their advisors, got up

31 and went into the next room to talk over what they had heard. They quickly agreed on Paul's innocence, saying, "There's nothing in this man deserving prison, let alone death."

32 Agrippa told Festus, "He could be set free right now if he hadn't requested the hearing before Caesar."
