Acts 25:26

Context
NETBible

But I have nothing definite 1  to write to my lord 2  about him. 3  Therefore I have brought him before you all, and especially before you, King Agrippa, 4  so that after this preliminary hearing 5  I may have something to write.

XREF

Ac 26:2,3

NET © Notes

sn There is irony here. How can Festus write anything definite about Paul, if he is guilty of nothing.

sn To my lord means “to His Majesty the Emperor.”

tn 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.

sn See the note on King Agrippa in 25:13.

tn Or “investigation.” BDAG 66 s.v. ἀνάκρισις has “a judicial hearing, investigation, hearing, esp. preliminary hearingτῆς ἀ. γενομένης Ac 25:26.” This is technical legal language.
