Commentary on Acts 25:6
Theological / DevotionalMore than ten days. Important textual evidence may be cited (cf. p. 10) for reading “not more than eight or ten days.” This reading stresses the brevity of Festus’ stay in Jerusalem (v. 4) rather than its length. Doubtless many problems left from Felix’ administration were pressing for attention, and Festus could not be absent from the seat of government (see on v. 1).
The next day. Or, “on the morrow.” The Jews had apparently convinced Festus that the proper settlement of Paul’s case was of utmost importance to satisfactory relations between the Roman administrator of Palestine and the Jewish people.
On the judgment seat. The procedure was that of a formal trial.
