Verse 24

And Festus saith, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye behold this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews made suit to me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

Both at Jerusalem and here ... is a little ambiguous, the doubt being whether it applies to the "suit" having been pressed in both places, or to "the Jews" of both places having joined in the suit. Plumptre applied it to both, saying:

It would seem from the addition "and also here," that the Jews of Caesarea had also taken part in the proceedings, and that they too had been clamoring for a capital sentence.[20]
