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 se defendía:—No he cometido ninguna falta, ni contra la ley de los judíos ni contra el templo ni contra el emperador.

9 Pero Festo, queriendo congraciarse con los judíos, le preguntó:—¿Estás dispuesto a subir a Jerusalén para ser juzgado allí ante mí?

10 Pablo contestó:—Ya estoy ante el tribunal del emperador, que es donde se me debe juzgar. No les he hecho ningún agravio a los judíos, como usted sabe muy bien.

11 Si soy culpable de haber hecho algo que merezca la muerte, no me niego a morir. Pero si no son ciertas las acusaciones que estos judíos formulan contra mí, nadie tiene el derecho de entregarme a ellos para complacerlos. ¡Apelo al emperador!

12 Después de consultar con sus asesores, Festo declaró:—Has apelado al emperador. ¡Al emperador irás!
