Gevurot 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.

25 "But I found he has done nothing worthy of mavet, and when he appealed to Caesar, I decided to send him.
