In verse 13: Herod Agrippa II, son of Agrippa I (Lk 3.1; 13.31;23.6-12; Acts 12.1, 6, 20-23), and his sister Bernice pay the respects that client kings give to imperial representatives.
In verse 19: Festus partially understands that the dispute is about the resurrection (23.6; 24.20).
In verse 21: His imperial Majesty is the emperor Nero.
In verse 24: The whole Jewish community is a clear overstatement.
In verses 26-27: Festus quest for something to write is comparable to Pilate's problem when he declared Jesus had done "nothing to deserve death" (Lk 23.15; but see 23.8).
