ACTS 25:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.”
Then Agrippa said to Festus, 'I would like to hear this man myself.' Festus replied, 'Tomorrow you will hear him.' - Agrippa's request 'I would like to hear this man myself' (eboulomēn kai autos tou anthrōpou akousai, eboulomēn kai autos tou anthrōpou akousai) shows interest, even curiosity. His status as a Jew of rank may create sympathy or at least a desire to understand. Festus agrees readily ('Tomorrow you will hear'), suggesting he expects Agrippa's presence to validate his handling of the case. The stage is set for Paul's most triumphant apologia.
