Atos 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.

Atos 25:10 In-Context

8 Então Paulo fez sua defesa: “Nada fiz de errado contra a lei dos judeus, contra o templo ou contra César”.

9 Festo, querendo prestar um favor aos judeus, perguntou a Paulo: “Você está disposto a ir a Jerusalém e ali ser julgado diante de mim, acerca destas acusações?”

10 Paulo respondeu: “Estou agora diante do tribunal de César, onde devo ser julgado. Não fiz nenhum mal aos judeus, como bem sabes.

11 Se, de fato, sou culpado de ter feito algo que mereça pena de morte, não me recuso a morrer. Mas, se as acusações feitas contra mim por estes judeus não são verdadeiras, ninguém tem o direito de me entregar a eles. Apelo para César!”

12 Depois de ter consultado seus conselheiros, Festo declarou: “Você apelou para César, para César irá!”
