| (0.67) | (Act 25:6) | 1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Festus) has been specified in the translation for clarity. |
| (0.58) | (Act 25:26) | 1 sn There is irony here. How can Festus write anything definite about Paul, if he is guilty of nothing. |
| (0.50) | (Act 25:27) | 1 sn Without clearly indicating the charges against him. Again the point is made by Festus himself that there is difficulty even in articulating a charge against Paul. |
| (0.50) | (Act 25:25) | 1 sn He had done nothing that deserved death. Festus’ opinion of Paul’s guilt is like Pilate’s of Jesus (Luke 23:4, 14, 22). |
| (0.50) | (Act 25:16) | 1 sn “I answered them.” In the answer that follows, Festus is portrayed in a more positive light, being sensitive to justice and Roman law. |
| (0.50) | (Act 25:12) | 5 sn “To Caesar you will go!” In all probability Festus was pleased to send Paul on to Rome and get this political problem out of his court. |
| (0.50) | (Act 25:2) | 2 sn Note how quickly the Jewish leadership went after Paul: They brought formal charges against him within three days of Festus’ arrival in the province. |
