SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:24
Entonces Festo dijo: Rey Agripa, y todos los varones que estis aquí juntos con nosotros; veis a ste, por el cual toda la multitud de los Judíos me ha demandado en Jerusaln y aquí, dando voces que no conviene que viva ms;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 24. And Festus said, King Agrippa , etc.] He addressed himself to him in the first place, as being the principal person, and of great dignity, as well as knowledge: and all men which are here present with us ; the chief captains, and principal inhabitants of the city: ye see this man the prisoner at the bar, meaning Paul: about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me : applied unto him, interceded with him, and very importunately pressed and desired him to give judgment against him: both at Jerusalem and also here ; at Caesarea, whither they came from Jerusalem to accuse him: crying : in a very noisy and clamorous way: that he ought not to live any longer ; as they did before Lysias the chief captain, ( Acts 22:22) and so in the hearing of Festus; for it was his death they sought, and nothing else would satisfy them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-27 - Agrippa had the government of Galilee. How many unjust and hast judgments the Roman maxim, ver. #(16), condemn! This heathen, guide only by the light of nature, followed law and custom exactly, yet ho many Christians will not follow the rules of truth, justice, an charity, in judging their brethren! The questions about God's worship the way of salvation, and the truths of the gospel, may appear doubtfu and without interest, to worldly men and mere politicians. See ho slightly this Roman speaks of Christ, and of the great controvers between the Jews and the Christians. But the day is at hand when Festu and the whole world will see, that all the concerns of the Roman empir were but trifles and of no consequence, compared with this question of Christ's resurrection. Those who have had means of instruction, an have despised them, will be awfully convinced of their sin and folly Here was a noble assembly brought together to hear the truths of the gospel, though they only meant to gratify their curiosity by attendin to the defence of a prisoner. Many, even now, attend at the places of hearing the word of God with "great pomp," and too often with no bette motive than curiosity. And though ministers do not now stand a prisoners to make a defence for their lives, yet numbers affect to sin in judgment upon them, desirous to make them offenders for a word rather than to learn from them the truth and will of God, for the salvation of their souls But the pomp of this appearance was outshon by the real glory of the poor prisoner at the bar. What was the honou of their fine appearance, compared with that of Paul's wisdom, an grace, and holiness; his courage and constancy in suffering for Christ It is no small mercy to have God clear up our righteousness as the light, and our just dealing as the noon-day; to have nothing certai laid to our charge. And God makes even the enemies of his people to d them right __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies
25:24 {Which are here present with us} (hoi sunparontes hemin). Present articular participle of sunpareimi (only here in N.T.) with associative instrumental case hemin. {Made suit to me} (enetucon moi). Second aorist active indicative of entugcanw, old verb to fall in with a person, to go to meet for consultation or supplication as here. Common in old Greek and _Koin_. Cf. #Ro 8:27,34. See enteuxis (petition) #1Ti 2:1. Papyri give many examples of the technical sense of enteuxis as petition (Deissmann, _Bible Studies_, p. 121). Some MSS. have plural here enetucon rather than the singular enetucen. {Crying} (bowntes). Yelling and demanding with loud voices. {That he ought not to live any longer} (me dein auton zein meketi). Indirect command (demand) with the infinitive dein for dei (it is necessary). The double negative (me--meketi) with zein intensifies the demand.
