Hechos 25:23 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 25:23

And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come
Into the hall, or court of judicature:

and Bernice;
his sister, along with him:

with great pomp:
in rich dress, with the "regalia", or ensigns of royalty carried before them, and attended with a large train and retinue of servants:

and was entered into the place of hearing;
the causes that were tried in court, that particular part of the hall, which was assigned for that purpose; for as there were the proper places for the judge and council, and for the plaintiffs and defendants, so for those that came to hear:

with the chief captains;
or tribunes, who had the command of the Roman soldiers; and who had each of them a thousand men under them, as their title signifies:

and principal men of the city;
that is, of Caesarea; the magistrates, and chief inhabitants of the place:

at Festus's commandment Paul was brought forth;
and became a spectacle to a vast number of men, as he himself says; and which in part fulfilled what Christ had foretold to his disciples, that they should be brought before kings and governors for his sake; see ( 1 Corinthians 4:9 ) ( Matthew 10:18 ) .

Hechos 25:23 In-Context

21 pero Pablo apeló al emperador para que resuelva su caso. Así que di órdenes de que lo mantuvieran bajo custodia hasta que yo pudiera hacer los arreglos necesarios para enviarlo al César.

22 —Me gustaría oír personalmente a ese hombre —dijo Agripa.
Y Festo respondió:
—¡Mañana lo oirás!

23 Pablo habla con Agripa
Así que, al día siguiente, Agripa y Berenice llegaron al auditorio con gran pompa, acompañados por oficiales militares y hombres prominentes de la ciudad. Festo dio órdenes de que trajeran a Pablo.

24 Después Festo dijo: «Rey Agripa y los demás presentes, este es el hombre a quien todos los judíos tanto aquí como en Jerusalén quieren ver muerto;

25 pero en mi opinión, él no ha hecho nada que merezca la muerte. Sin embargo, como apeló al emperador, decidí enviarlo a Roma.
