Acts 25:19 meaning and explanation
They only had some contentions with him regarding their own religion and a certain Jesus who had died, but whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Acts 25:19, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Festus is speaking to King Agrippa, summarizing Paul's case. As the new Roman governor, he expected criminal charges but found only a dispute about "their own religion" and about "a certain Jesus who had died, but whom Paul affirmed to be alive." The Greek word for "religion" here is deisidaimonia, which can mean religion or superstition; Luke uses it to show how a pagan official saw the matter.
