19 Más bien, tenían contra él algunas cuestiones tocantes a su propia religión y sobre un tal Jesús, ya muerto, que Pablo sostiene que está vivo.

Hechos 25:19 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 25:19

But had certain questions against him of their own
superstition
Or religion; as about their law, which they said Paul had spoke against; and about their temple, which they pretended he had polluted; and about the resurrection of the dead, which he asserted, and some denied:

and of one Jesus which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive;
for it seems more was said on each side, than is recorded by Luke: the Jews objected to him among other things, his belief in Jesus of Nazareth, whom they traduced as an impostor and deceiver; Paul on the other hand argued, that he was the true Messiah; and in proof of it, affirmed that though they had put him to death, he was risen from the dead, and so was declared to be the Son of God with power: Festus, it is very likely, had never heard of Jesus before, and therefore speaks of him in this manner; or if he had, he had entertained a contemptible opinion of him, as well as of the Jewish religion; and which he expresses, even in the presence of the king, who had outwardly at least embraced it.

Hechos 25:19 In-Context

17 Cuando acudieron a mí, no dilaté el caso, sino que convoqué al tribunal el día siguiente y mandé traer a este hombre.

18 Al levantarse para hablar, sus acusadores no alegaron en su contra ninguno de los delitos que yo había supuesto.

19 Más bien, tenían contra él algunas cuestiones tocantes a su propia religión y sobre un tal Jesús, ya muerto, que Pablo sostiene que está vivo.

20 Yo no sabía cómo investigar tales cuestiones, así que le pregunté si estaba dispuesto a ir a Jerusalén para ser juzgado allí con respecto a esos cargos.

21 Pero como Pablo apeló para que se le reservara el fallo al emperador, ordené que quedara detenido hasta ser remitido a Roma.
