Hechos 25:1 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 25:1

Now when Festus was come into the province
Of Judea, which was a Roman province, over which he was made governor by Nero, the Roman emperor, in the room of Felix; he now being landed in some part of the province, namely, at Caesarea, and so might be said to have entered upon the government of it, as the phrase will bear to be rendered;

after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem;
he very likely came by sea from Italy to Judea, and landed at Caesarea; for though Joppa was the nearest port to Jerusalem, yet Caesarea was the safest, and most commodious port, being made so by Herod; (See Gill on Acts 18:22), and besides, it seems to have been very much the residence of the kings and governors of Judea, ( Acts 12:19 ) ( Acts 23:23 Acts 23:33 ) here Festus stayed three days after his landing, to rest himself after the fatigue of the voyage, and then went up to Jerusalem, the metropolis of the province of Judea.

Hechos 25:1 In-Context

1 Tres días después de llegar a la provincia, Festo subió de Cesarea a Jerusalén.

2 Entonces los jefes de los sacerdotes y los dirigentes de los judíos presentaron sus acusaciones contra Pablo.

3 Insistentemente le pidieron a Festo que les hiciera el favor de trasladar a Pablo a Jerusalén. Lo cierto es que ellos estaban preparando una emboscada para matarlo en el camino.

4 Festo respondió: «Pablo está preso en Cesarea, y yo mismo partiré en breve para allá.

5 Que vayan conmigo algunos de los dirigentes de ustedes y formulen allí sus acusaciones contra él, si es que ha hecho algo malo».
