Key Reflection

The phrase "Acts." at the beginning of Acts 25:1 likely indicates a new section or division within the text, possibly marking a transition in the narrative to focus on the actions and decisions of key figures like Festus. This notation helps organize the flow of events as Paul's appeal for justice continues, shifting from his initial hearing before Felix to a new phase involving Festus.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

CHAPTER 25 Verse 1. Now when Festus was come. See Barnes "Ac 24:27". Into the province. The province of Judea; for Judea at that time was a Roman province. After three days. Having remained three days at Caesarea. He ascended. This was the usual language which described a journey to Jerusalem. Thus the English people speak of going up to London, because it is the capital. See Barnes "Ac 15:1". To Jerusalem.
