Hechos 25:6 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 25:6

And when he had tarried among them more than ten days
The Alexandrian copy, and three of Beza's copies, and some others, and the Vulgate Latin version read, "no more than eight or ten days"; and the Syriac and Ethiopic versions leave out the phrase "no more", and read "when he had stayed there", as the former; that is, at Jerusalem; or "when he had remained among them", as the latter; the Jews, chief priests, and others, "eight or ten days"; the historian, not being certain to a day, expresses himself in this manner:

he went down to Caesarea;
from whence he came, and where Paul was:

and the next day sitting in the judgment seat;
the day after he was come to Caesarea, he sat upon the bench in the court of judicature, to try causes, and particularly the apostle's, which he was very desirous of knowing, for which reason he so soon took the bench: and

commanded Paul to be brought;
from the place where he was kept a prisoner, to the judgment hall where Festus was.

Hechos 25:6 In-Context

4 Festo respondió: «Pablo está preso en Cesarea, y yo mismo partiré en breve para allá.

5 Que vayan conmigo algunos de los dirigentes de ustedes y formulen allí sus acusaciones contra él, si es que ha hecho algo malo».

6 Después de pasar entre los judíos unos ocho o diez días, Festo bajó a Cesarea, y al día siguiente convocó al tribunal y mandó que le trajeran a Pablo.

7 Cuando este se presentó, los judíos que habían bajado de Jerusalén lo rodearon, formulando contra él muchas acusaciones graves que no podían probar.

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