Handelingen 25:4 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 25:4

But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea,
&c.] Or that he was kept there, and was in proper custody, under the care of a centurion, and should continue there; nor was there any reason why he should be removed, especially since he should return thither speedily, as he adds:

and that he himself would depart shortly thither;
the answer was a very wise and prudent one, and the reasons given were just and strong; as that Paul had been sent to Caesarea, was left bound by his predecessor there; there he found him, and there he was under a proper guard, and there it was right for him to continue; and besides, he himself should make no stay in Jerusalem, but should depart for Caesarea in a few days, and therefore it was very improper to send for Paul thither.

Handelingen 25:4 In-Context

2 En de hogepriester, en de voornaamsten der Joden, verschenen voor hem tegen Paulus en baden hem,
3 Begerende gunst tegen hem, opdat hij hem zou doen komen te Jeruzalem; en leggende een lage, om hem op den weg om te brengen.
4 Doch Festus antwoordde, dat Paulus te Cesarea bewaard werd, en dat hij zelf haast derwaarts zou verreizen.
5 Die dan, zeide hij, onder u kunnen, dat zij mede afreizen, en zo er iets onbehoorlijks in dezen man is, dat zij hem beschuldigen.
6 En als hij onder hen niet meer dan tien dagen doorgebracht had, kwam hij af naar Cesarea; en des anderen daags, op den rechterstoel gezeten zijnde, beval hij, dat Paulus zou voor gebracht worden.
