SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:31
cuando se retiraron aparte, hablaban los unos a los otros, diciendo: Ninguna cosa digna ni de muerte, ni de prisin, hace este hombre.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 31. And when they were gone aside , etc.] Into some apartment adjoining to the judgment hall: they talked between themselves ; that the common people might not hear their debates, and the result of them, and what were their sentiments concerning Paul and his case: saying, this man doth nothing worthy of death , or of bonds; according to the Roman laws; for as yet there were no laws among the Romans against the Christians as such, or against their professing and preaching Christ.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 24-32 - It becomes us, on all occasions, to speak the words of truth an soberness, and then we need not be troubled at the unjust censures of men. Active and laborious followers of the gospel often have bee despised as dreamers or madmen, for believing such doctrines and suc wonderful facts; and for attesting that the same faith and diligence and an experience like their own, are necessary to all men, whateve their rank, in order to their salvation. But apostles and prophets, an the Son of God himself, were exposed to this charge; and none need be moved thereby, when Divine grace has made them wise unto salvation Agrippa saw a great deal of reason for Christianity. His understandin and judgment were for the time convinced, but his heart was no changed. And his conduct and temper were widely different from the humility and spirituality of the gospel. Many are almost persuaded to be religious, who are not quite persuaded; they are under stron convictions of their duty, and of the excellence of the ways of God yet do not pursue their convictions. Paul urged that it was the concer of every one to become a true Christian; that there is grace enough in Christ for all. He expressed his full conviction of the truth of the gospel, the absolute necessity of faith in Christ in order to salvation. Such salvation from such bondage, the gospel of Chris offers to the Gentiles; to a lost world. Yet it is with much difficult that any person can be persuaded he needs a work of grace on his heart like that which was needful for the conversion of the Gentiles. Let u beware of fatal hesitation in our own conduct; and recollect how fa the being almost persuaded to be a Christian, is from being altogethe such a one as every true believer is __________________________________________________________________

31. Doeth. Referring, not to Paul's past conduct, but to the general character of his life.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
26:31 {They spake one to another} (elaloun pros allelous). Imperfect active, describing the eager conversation of the dignitaries about Paul's wonderful speech. {Nothing worthy of death or bonds} (ouden qanatou e desmwn axion). this is the unanimous conclusion of all these dignitaries (Romans, Jews, Greeks) as it was of Festus before (#25:25). But Paul had not won any of them to Christ. The conclusion leaves Festus in a predicament. Why had he not set Paul free before this ?
