Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Acts 25:22-27.


Acts 25:26

_ _ I have no certain — “definite”

_ _ thing to write my lord — Nero. “The writer’s accuracy should be remarked here. It would have been ... a mistake to apply this term (“lord”) to the emperor a few years earlier. Neither Augustus nor Tiberius would let himself be so called, as implying the relation of master and slave. But it had now come (rather, “was coming”) into use as one of the imperial titles” [Hacket].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 25:13-27.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Acts 25:26

Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my (f) lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.

(f) To Augustus. Good princes refused this name at the first, that is, to be called lords, but afterwards they allowed it, as we read of Traianus.
