SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:25
pero yo, hallando que ninguna cosa digna de muerte ha hecho, y l mismo apelando a Augusto, he determinado enviarle,
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death , etc.] Which was a public testimony of the apostles innocence, to the great mortification of his enemies, some of whom might be present; a like testimony was given of him by Lysias, ( Acts 23:29). And that he himself hath appealed unto Augustus ; the Emperor Nero; (see Acts 25:21). I have determined to send him ; having had the opinion of his council upon it.
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
25:25 {But I found} (egw de katelabomen). Second aorist middle of katalambanw, to lay hold of, to grasp, to comprehend as in #4:13; 10:34. {That he had committed nothing worthy of death} (meden axion auton qanatou pepracenai). Perfect active infinitive of prassw in indirect assertion with negative me and accusative auton of general reference, the usual idiom. Verse #25 repeats the statement in verse #21, perhaps for the benefit of the assembled dignitaries.
