25:26But I have nothing definite100 to write to my lord101 about him.102 Therefore I have brought him before you all, and especially before you, King Agrippa,103 so that after this preliminary hearing104 I may have something to write.
Footnotes
- 100 There is irony here. How can Festus write anything definite about Paul, if he is guilty of nothing.
- 101 To my lord means “to His Majesty the Emperor.”
- 102 Grk “about whom I have nothing definite …” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the relative pronoun (“whom”) was replaced with a personal pronoun (“him”) and a new sentence begun in the translation at the beginning of v. 26.
- 103 See the note on King Agrippa in .
- 104 Or “investigation.” ἀνάκρισις has “a judicial hearing, investigation, hearing, esp. preliminary hearing … τῆς ἀ. γενομένης Ac 25:26.” This is technical legal language.
