Apostelgeschichte 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.

Apostelgeschichte 25:1 In-Context

1 Da nun Festus ins Land gekommen war, zog er über drei Tage hinauf von Cäsarea gen Jerusalem.

2 Da erschienen vor ihm die Vornehmsten der Juden wider Paulus und ermahnten ihn

3 und baten um Gunst wider ihn, daß er ihn fordern ließe gen Jerusalem, und stellten ihm nach, daß sie ihn unterwegs umbrächten.

4 Da antwortete Festus, Paulus würde ja behalten zu Cäsarea; aber er würde in kurzem wieder dahin ziehen.

5 Welche nun unter euch (sprach er) können, die laßt mit hinabziehen und den Mann verklagen, so etwas an ihm ist.
