Actes 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.

Actes 25:10 In-Context

8 Tandis que Paul disait pour sa défense: Je n'ai péché en rien, ni contre la loi des Juifs, ni contre le temple, ni contre César.

9 Toutefois Festus, voulant faire plaisir aux Juifs, prit la parole et dit à Paul: Veux-tu monter à Jérusalem, et y être jugé sur ces choses devant moi?

10 Et Paul dit: Je comparais devant le tribunal de César; il faut que j'y sois jugé; je n'ai fait aucun tort aux Juifs, comme tu le sais très bien.

11 Si j'ai commis quelque injustice, ou quelque crime digne de mort, je ne refuse pas de mourir; mais s'il n'est rien des choses dont ils m'accusent, personne ne peut me livrer à eux; j'en appelle à César.

12 Alors Festus, après en avoir conféré avec son conseil, répondit: Tu en as appelé à César, tu iras à César.
