Acts 25:26

26 Of which man I have not certain, what thing I shall write to the lord. For which thing I brought him to you, and most to thee, thou king Agrippa, that when asking is made, I have what I shall write. [Of which man I have not, what thing certain I shall write to the lord. For which thing I brought him to you, and most to thee, O king Agrippa, that when asking is made, I have what I shall write.]

Acts 25:26 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 25:26

Of whom I have no certain thing
No certain crime, charge, or accusation; nothing of any moment or consequence, no particular thing, nothing but a heap of confused notions, of I know not who or what:

to write unto my lord;
meaning the Roman emperor, under whom he served as governor of Judea:

wherefore I have brought him before you;
the whole company then present:

and especially before thee, O King Agrippa;
as being not only a man of eminence, dignity, and authority, but of knowledge in such matters, which the Jews accused Paul of; see ( Acts 26:2 Acts 26:3 ) .

That after examination had;
of Paul, and his case;

I might have somewhat to write;
concerning him, and the charges exhibited against him to the emperor.

Acts 25:26 In-Context

24 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men that be with us, ye see this man, of which all the multitude of Jews prayed me at Jerusalem, and asked, and cried, that he should live no longer [+asking and crying, that it behooveth not that he live more].

25 But I found, that he had done nothing worthy of death; and I deemed to send him to the emperor, for he appealed this thing [soothly him appealing this thing to the emperor, I deemed to send].

26 Of which man I have not certain, what thing I shall write to the lord. For which thing I brought him to you, and most to thee, thou king Agrippa, that when asking is made, I have what I shall write. [Of which man I have not, what thing certain I shall write to the lord. For which thing I brought him to you, and most to thee, O king Agrippa, that when asking is made, I have what I shall write.]

27 For it is seen to me without reason, to send a bound man, and not to signify the cause of him.
