Atti 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.

Atti 25:1 In-Context

1 Festo adunque, essendo entrato nella provincia, tre giorni appresso salì di Cesarea in Gerusalemme.

2 E il sommo sacerdote, ed i principali de’ Giudei, comparvero dinanzi a lui, contro a Paolo.

3 E lo pregavano, chiedendo una grazia contro a lui, che egli lo facesse venire in Gerusalemme, ponendo insidie, per ucciderlo per lo cammino.

4 Ma Festo rispose, che Paolo era guardato in Cesarea; e che egli tosto vi andrebbe.

5 Quegli adunque di voi, disse egli, che potranno, scendano meco; e se vi è in quest’uomo alcun misfatto, accusinlo.
