Read Acts 25.1-12. In verse 1: Caesarea was the Roman city Herod the Great built on the Mediterranean and Jerusalem was high in the Judeans hills. In verse 5: Those who have the authority are the "leading men," probably linked closely with the Temple. In verse 10: Paul's innocence of the charges has been his defense to which the tribune (23.29) and narrator have agreed (25.7), but Festus' opinion (as you very well know) is so far (25.18-20, 26-27; 26.31-32) only indicated through Paul (contrast Pilate in Lk 23.13, 20, 22). In verses 11-12: Only roman citizens could appeal to the emperor (16.37-38; 22.25-29). Comments or Questions..
