  1  The Jews accuse Paul before Festus.
 8  He answers for himself,
11  and appeals unto Caesar.
14  Afterwards Festus opens his matter to king Agrippa;
23  and he is brought forth.
25  Festus clears him of having done any thing worthy of death.


VERSE 1
- into.
   * Ac 23:34
- the province.
  By the province, Judea is meant; for after the death of Herod
  Agrippa, Claudius thought it imprudent to trust  the
  government in the hands of his son Agrippa, who was then but
  seventeen years of age; and therefore, Cuspius Fadus was sent
  to be procurator.  And when afterwards Claudius had given to
  Agrippa the tetrarchy of Philip, he nevertheless kept the
  province of Judea in his own hands, and governed it by
  procurators sent from Rome.

 - I stand.
  Every procurator represented the emperor in the province over
  which he presided; and as the seat of government was at
  Caesarea, Paul was before the tribunal where, as a Roman
  citizen, he ought to be judged.

   * Ac 16:37; 22:25 1Th 2:15
- I appeal.
  An appeal to the emperor was the right of a Roman citizen, and
  was highly respected.  The Julian law condemned those
  civil officers, and others, as violaters of the public peace, who
  had put to death, tortured, scourged, imprisoned, or condemned
  any Roman citizen who had appealed to Caesar.  This law was so
  sacred and imperative, that, in the persecution under Trajan,
  Pliny would not attempt to put to death Roman citizens, who
  were proved to have turned Christians, but determined to send
  them to Rome, probably because they had appealed.

VERSE 24 
 - King Agrippa.
  King Agrippa was the son of Herod Agrippa; who upon the death
  of his uncle Herod, king of Chalcis, A.D. 28, succeeded to his
  dominions, by the favor of the emperor Claudius.  Four years
  afterwards, Claudius removed him from that kingdom to a larger
  one; giving him the tetrarchy of Philip, that of Lysanias, and
  the province which Varus governed.  Nero afterwards added
  Julias in Peraea, Tarichaea, and Tiberias.  Claudius gave him
  the power of appointing the high priest among the Jews; and
  instances of his exercising this power may be seen in
  Josephus.  He was strongly attached to the Romans, and did
  every thing in his power to prevent the Jews from rebelling;
  and when he could not prevail, he united his troops to those
  of Titus, and assisted at the siege of Jerusalem.  After the
  ruin of his country, he retired with his sister Berenice to
  Rome where he died, aged 70, about A.D. 90.

   * :11,12
- Augustus.
  The honorable title of [Sebastos <4575>,] or Augustus, that
  is venerable or august, which was first conferred by the
  senate on Octavius Caesar, was afterwards assumed by succeeding
  Roman emperors.


VERSE 26 
 - specially.
   * Ac 26:2,3
