Theological / Devotional

I will hear thee. Literally, “I will hear thee through,” that is, I will give you a full hearing. Felix accepted jurisdiction of the case. The accusers did not reach Caesarea until five more days had passed (ch. 24:1).

Judgment hall. Gr. praitōrion (see on Matt. 27:27), from the Latin praetorium. These words were applied to the tent of a commanding officer, to the barracks of the imperial guard at Rome, and as here, to the palace of a provincial governor of the Roman Empire.
