Commentary on Acts 25:12

Theological / Devotional

Council. Gr. sumboulion, the procurator’s own “group of councilors.” Luke consistently uses the word sunedrion when speaking of the Jewish “council,” the Sanhedrin (Acts 5:21 ; 6:12; 22:30; 23:1; 24:20; etc.). The appeal to Caesar was not automatically granted, but consultation confirmed the fact that since Paul was a Roman citizen his appeal could not be denied.
