Notes on this text (1)
- New Testament only; original spelling.
1 When Festus was come into the province after thre dayes he ascended from Cesarea vnto Ierusalem.
1 FESTO pues, entrado en la provincia, tres días después subió de Cesarea á Jerusalem.
2 Then enformed him the hye prestes and the chefe of the Iewes of Paul. And they besought him
2 Y vinieron á él los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los principales de los Judíos contra Pablo; y le rogaron,
3 and desired faveour agaynst him that he wold sende for him to Ierusalem: and layde awayte for him in the waye to kill him.
3 Pidiendo gracia contra él, que le hiciese traer á Jerusalem, poniendo ellos asechanzas para matarle en el camino.
4 Festus answered that Paul shuld be kept at Cesarea: but that he him selfe wold shortly departe thither.
4 Mas Festo respondió, que Pablo estaba guardado en Cesarea, y que él mismo partiría presto.
5 Let the therfore (sayd he) which amonge you are able to do it come doune with vs and accuse him if ther be eny faute in the man.
5 Los que de vosotros pueden, dijo, desciendan juntamente; y si hay algún crimen en este varón, acúsenle.
6 When he had taried there moare then ten dayes he departed vnto Cesarea and the nexte daye sate doune in the iudgement seate and commaunded Paul to be brought.
6 Y deteniéndose entre ellos no más de ocho ó diez días, venido á Cesarea, el siguiente día se sentó en el tribunal, y mandó que Pablo fuese traído.
7 When he was come the Iewes which were come from Ierusalem came aboute him and layde many and greveous complayntes agaynst Paul which they coulde not prove
7 El cual venido, le rodearon los Judíos que habían venido de Jerusalem, poniendo contra Pablo muchas y graves acusaciones, las cuales no podían probar;
8 as longe as he answered for him selfe that he had nether agaynst the lawe of the Iewes nether agaynst the temple nor yet agaynst Cesar offended eny thinge at all.
8 Alegando él por su parte: Ni contra la ley de los Judíos, ni contra el templo, ni contra César he pecado en nada.
9 Festus willinge to do the Iewes a pleasure answered Paul and sayde: wilt thou goo to Ierusalem and there be iudged of these thinges before me?
9 Mas Festo, queriendo congraciarse con los Judíos, respondiendo á Pablo, dijo: ¿Quieres subir á Jerusalem, y allá ser juzgado de estas cosas delante de mí?
10 Then sayd Paul: I stonde at Cesars iudgement seate where I ought to be iudged. To the Iewes have I no harme done as thou verely well knowest.
10 Y Pablo dijo: Ante el tribunal de César estoy, donde conviene que sea juzgado. A los Judíos no he hecho injuria ninguna, como tú sabes muy bien.
11 If I have hurte them or committed eny thinge worthy of deeth I refuse not to dye. If none of these thinges are where of they accuse me no man owght to delyver me to them. I appeale vnto Cesar.
11 Porque si alguna injuria, ó cosa alguna digna de muerte he hecho, no rehuso morir; mas si nada hay de las cosas de que éstos me acusan, nadie puede darme á ellos. A César apelo.
12 Then spake Festus with deliberacion and answered. Thou hast appealed vnto Cesar: vnto Cesar shalt thou goo.
12 Entonces Festo, habiendo hablado con el consejo, respondió: ¿A César has apelado? á César irás.
13 After a certayne dayes kinge Agrippa and Bernice came vnto Cesarea to salute Festus.
13 Y pasados algunos días, el rey Agripa y Bernice vinieron á Cesarea á saludar á Festo.
14 And when they had bene there a good ceason Festus rehersed Paules cause vnto the kynge sayinge: ther is a certayne man left in preson of Felix
14 Y como estuvieron allí muchos días, Festo declaró la causa de Pablo al rey, diciendo: Un hombre ha sido dejado preso por Félix,
15 about whom when I came to Ierusalem the hye prestes and elders of the Iewes enformed me and desyred to have iudgement agaynst him.
15 Sobre el cual, cuando fuí á Jerusalem, vinieron [á mí] los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los ancianos de los Judíos, pidiendo condenación contra él:
16 To whom I answered: It is not the maner of the Romayns to delyver eny man that he shuld perisshe before that he which is accused have the accusars before him and have licence to answer for him selfe concerninge the cryme layde agaynst him:
16 A los cuales respondí, no ser costumbre de los Romanos dar alguno á la muerte antes que el que es acusado tenga presentes sus acusadores, y haya lugar de defenderse de la acusación.
17 when they were come hidder with out delaye on the morowe I sate to geve iudgement and commaunded the man to be brought forthe.
17 Así que, habiendo venido [ellos] juntos acá, sin ninguna dilación, al día siguiente, sentado en el tribunal, mandé traer al hombre;
18 Agaynst who when the accusers stode vp they brought none accusacion of soche thinges as I supposed:
18 Y estando presentes los acusadores, ningún cargo produjeron de los que yo sospechaba:
19 but had certayne questions agaynst him of their awne supersticion and of one Iesus which was ded: whom Paul affirmed to be alyve.
19 Solamente tenían contra él ciertas cuestiones acerca de su superstición, y de un cierto Jesús, difunto, el cual Pablo afirmaba que estaba vivo.
20 And be cause I douted of soche maner questions I axed him whyther he wolde goo to Ierusalem and there be iudged of these matters.
20 Y yo, dudando en cuestión semejante, dije, si quería ir á Jerusalem, y allá ser juzgado de estas cosas.
21 Then when Paul had appealed to be kept vnto the knowledge of Cesar I commaunded him to be kept tyll I myght sende him to Cesar.
21 Mas apelando Pablo á ser guardado al conocimiento de Augusto, mandé que le guardasen hasta que le enviara á César.
22 Agrippa sayd vnto Festus: I wolde also heare the man my selfe. To morowe (sayde he) thou shalt heare him.
22 Entonces Agripa dijo á Festo: Yo también quisiera oir á [ese] hombre. Y él dijo: Mañana le oirás.
23 And on the morowe when Agrippa was come and Bernice with greate pompe and were entred into the counsell housse with the captaynes and chefe men of the cite at Festus commaundement Paul was brought forth.
23 Y al otro día, viniendo Agripa y Bernice con mucho aparato, y entrando en la audiencia con los tribunos y principales hombres de la ciudad, por mandato de Festo, fué traído Pablo.
24 And Festus sayde: kynge Agrippa and all men which are heare present with vs: ye se this man about whom all the multitude of the Iewes have bene with me both at Ierusalem and also here cryinge that he ought not to lyve eny lenger.
24 Entonces Festo dijo: Rey Agripa, y todos los varones que estáis aquí juntos con nosotros: veis á éste, por el cual toda la multitud de los Judíos me ha demandado en Jerusalem y aquí, dando voces que no conviene que viva más;
25 Yet founde I nothinge worthy of deeth that he had committed. Neverthelesse seinge that he hath appealed to Cesar I have determined to sende him.
25 Mas yo, hallando que ninguna cosa digna de muerte ha hecho, y él mismo apelando á Augusto, he determinado enviarle:
26 Of whom I have no certayne thinge to wryte vnto my lorde. Wherfore I have brought him vnto you and specially vnto the kynge Agrippa that after examinacion had I myght have sumwhat to wryte.
26 Del cual no tengo cosa cierta que escriba al señor; por lo que le he sacado á vosotros, y mayormente á tí, oh rey Agripa, para que hecha información, tenga yo qué escribir.
27 For me thynketh it vnreasonable for to sende a presoner and not to shewe the causes which are layde agaynst him.
27 Porque fuera de razón me parece enviar un preso, y no informar de las causas.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
See what an audience is gathered together for Paul. Having collected all his guards, the governor is come, and the king, and the tribunes, "with the principal men," it says, "of the city." Then Paul being brought forth, see how he is proclaimed as conqueror. Festus himself acquits him from the charges, for what says Festus?
