Hechos 25:10

10 Pero Pablo contestó:
—¡No! Esta es la corte oficial romana, por lo tanto, debo ser juzgado aquí mismo. Usted sabe muy bien que no soy culpable de hacer daño a los judíos.

Hechos 25:10 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 25:10

Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat
Not that here was a seat in the judgment hall built by Herod for Caesar himself to sit in, should he ever come there, as some have thought; but the seat on which Festus sat is called Caesar's judgment seat, because it was in a Raman court of judicature, and because Festus, who filled it, represented Caesar himself:

where I ought to be judged:
being a Roman citizen, and not at Jerusalem by the sanhedrim of the Jews, who had nothing to do with him:

to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest;
it may be by his predecessor Felix, who had informed him of this case; or by Lysias's letter, which might come to his hands; or by the apostle's answer and vindication of himself, which he now made.

have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest;
it may be by his predecessor Felix, who had informed him of this case; or by Lysias's letter, which might come to his hands; or by the apostle's answer and vindication of himself, which he now made.

Hechos 25:10 In-Context

8 Pablo negó los cargos. «No soy culpable de ningún delito contra las leyes judías, ni contra el templo, ni contra el gobierno romano», dijo.

9 Entonces Festo, queriendo complacer a los judíos, le preguntó:
—¿Estás dispuesto a ir a Jerusalén y ser juzgado ante mí allá?

10 Pero Pablo contestó:
—¡No! Esta es la corte oficial romana, por lo tanto, debo ser juzgado aquí mismo. Usted sabe muy bien que no soy culpable de hacer daño a los judíos.

11 Si he hecho algo digno de muerte, no me niego a morir; pero si soy inocente, nadie tiene el derecho de entregarme a estos hombres para que me maten. ¡Apelo al César!

12 Festo consultó con sus consejeros y después respondió:
—¡Muy bien! Has apelado al César, ¡y al César irás!
