Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Acts 25:9-10.


Acts 25:10

_ _ Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat — that is, I am already before the proper tribunal. This seems to imply that he understood Festus to propose handing him over to the Sanhedrim for judgment (and see on Acts 25:11), with a mere promise of protection from him. But from going to Jerusalem at all he was too well justified in shrinking, for there assassination had been quite recently planned against him.

_ _ to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou knowest very well — literally, “better,” that is, (perhaps), better than to press such a proposal.

_ _ if there be none of these things ... no man may deliver me unto them — The word signifies to “surrender in order to gratify” another.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 25:1-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Acts 25:10

I am standing at Cesar's judgment seat — For all the courts of the Roman governors were held in the name of the emperor, and by commission from him. No man can give me up — He expresses it modestly: the meaning is, Thou canst not. I appeal to Cesar — Which any Roman citizen might do before sentence was passed.
