Atti 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.

Atti 25:10 In-Context

8 Io non ho peccato né contro la legge de’ Giudei, né contro il tempio, né contro Cesare.

9 Ma Festo, volendo far cosa grata ai Giudei, disse a Paolo: Vuoi tu salire a Gerusalemme ed esser quivi giudicato davanti a me intorno a queste cose?

10 Ma Paolo rispose: Io sto qui dinanzi al tribunale di Cesare, ove debbo esser giudicato; io non ho fatto torto alcuno ai Giudei, come anche tu sai molto bene.

11 Se dunque sono colpevole e ho commesso cosa degna di morte, non ricuso di morire; ma se nelle cose delle quali costoro mi accusano non c’è nulla di vero, nessuno mi può consegnare per favore nelle loro mani. Io mi appello a Cesare.

12 Allora Festo, dopo aver conferito col consiglio, rispose: Tu ti sei appellato a Cesare; a Cesare andrai.
