Hechos 25:27

27 ¡Pues no tiene sentido enviarle un prisionero al emperador sin especificar los cargos que hay en su contra!

Hechos 25:27 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 25:27

For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner
A man bound as if he was a malefactor, and guilty of some heinous crimes, to Rome, to be tried before Caesar:

and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him;
for which he is a prisoner, and for which he is sent to the emperor: it seemed to Festus an absurd thing, and what might be justly looked upon by his master, a foolish, silly, and stupid piece of conduct, and void of common sense and reason, mere madness and folly; to send him a prisoner, and not signify in his letter to him, what was laid to his charge; and yet this was so dark and obscure, that he could not tell what to make of it, nor what to write to his lord about it; and hoped therefore, upon this re-examination of Paul before Agrippa, he should come to a more certain knowledge of this affair, and be better furnished to give Nero an account of it, to whom the apostle had appealed.

Hechos 25:27 In-Context

25 pero en mi opinión, él no ha hecho nada que merezca la muerte. Sin embargo, como apeló al emperador, decidí enviarlo a Roma.

26 »¿Pero qué debo escribirle al emperador?, pues no hay ningún cargo concreto en su contra. Así que lo he traído ante todos ustedes —especialmente ante ti, rey Agripa— para tener algo que escribir después de que lo interroguemos.

27 ¡Pues no tiene sentido enviarle un prisionero al emperador sin especificar los cargos que hay en su contra!
