Apostelgeschichte 25:4 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 25:4

But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea,
&c.] Or that he was kept there, and was in proper custody, under the care of a centurion, and should continue there; nor was there any reason why he should be removed, especially since he should return thither speedily, as he adds:

and that he himself would depart shortly thither;
the answer was a very wise and prudent one, and the reasons given were just and strong; as that Paul had been sent to Caesarea, was left bound by his predecessor there; there he found him, and there he was under a proper guard, and there it was right for him to continue; and besides, he himself should make no stay in Jerusalem, but should depart for Caesarea in a few days, and therefore it was very improper to send for Paul thither.

Apostelgeschichte 25:4 In-Context

2 Und die Hohenpriester und die Vornehmsten der Juden machten Anzeige bei ihm wider Paulus und baten ihn,
3 indem sie es als eine Gunst wider denselben begehrten, daß er ihn nach Jerusalem kommen ließe; indem sie eine Nachstellung bereiteten, ihn unterwegs umzubringen.
4 Festus nun antwortete, Paulus werde in Cäsarea behalten, er selbst aber wolle in Kürze abreisen.
5 Die Angesehenen unter euch nun, sprach er, mögen mit hinabreisen und, wenn etwas an diesem Manne ist, ihn anklagen.
6 Nachdem er aber nicht mehr als acht oder zehn Tage unter ihnen verweilt hatte, ging er nach Cäsarea hinab; und des folgenden Tages setzte er sich auf den Richterstuhl und befahl, Paulus vorzuführen.
