Festus, accordingly, performed his promise to the king; and when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp Of apparel, attendants, guards, &c.; Greek, μετα πολλης φαντασιας , with great show, or splendour. But all this pomp and show was far outshone by the real glory of the poor prisoner at the bar.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 25:13-27

Paul again declared innocent (25:13-26:32)Among those who came to Caesarea to pay their respects to the new governor was Herod Agrippa II. This man was the son of Herod Agrippa I (the governor mentioned in 12:1-4,20-23) and the brother of Bernice and Drusilla (13; cf. 24:24; see ‘The New Testament World’). He was Rome’s appointed ruler over certain areas in the far north of Palestine, but he had no power in the region governed by Festus. He was, however, an expert on Jewish affairs (see... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 25:23

Acts 25:23. With great pomp,— Dr. Hammond has shewn by a variety of quotations, that the word φαντασιας, here, signifies train, or retinue;—with a numerous and splendid train, making a most pompous and magnificent appearance. When they were seated, Festus gave orders that Paul should be brought forth; who came presently, in his humble garb, and, as it should seem, with his chains on; but his inward integrity was more honourable, and of greater excellence, than all their external pomp and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 25:23

Festus used this occasion to honor Agrippa and Bernice before the local Caesarean leaders. There were five commanders based in Caesarea each with responsibility for 1,000 soldiers. They all had the same authority as Claudius Lysias, the commander of the cohort based in Jerusalem (cf. Acts 21:31 to Acts 23:30; Acts 24:22). Beside these commanders many prominent men of the city were present in the auditorium of the governor’s palace."Everyone who was anyone would have been there." [Note: The NET... read more

Paul’s defense before Agrippa 25:23-26:32This is the longest of Paul’s five defenses. It centers on the gospel with an evangelistic appeal rather than on the charges against Paul. This emphasis harmonizes with Luke’s evangelistic purpose in Luke and Acts and is a fitting climax to that purpose. It also documents God’s faithfulness in allowing Paul to witness before kings (cf. Acts 9:15)."Inherent in Luke’s account are at least three apologetic themes: (1) Paul’s relations with the Roman... read more
