- Acts 25:23–25:27
Read Acts 25:25 with 25:23–25:27. In isolation, this contribution—says Festus found no capital offense but must honor Paul's appeal—can be mistaken for the scene's whole claim, detached from its speaker or narrator, or separated from its outcome. The complete unit establishes: Agrippa and Bernice enter with pomp before commanders and elites, Festus presents Paul as someone whose death has been demanded yet whom he finds undeserving of death, and seeks a charge to send with the prisoner.
