Acts 25

     25:1-12.  Paul is forced to appeal to Caesar.  

     25:13.  Agrippa and his sister Bernice, see notes above at 24:24.

     25:15.  The emperor is Nero.  See margin at 25:21.

     25:16.  Though our law codes are based on English common law, European law is based on Roman law to this day.  Roman law could be corrupt (e.g., Pilate, or Felix at 24:26), yet it was less corrupt, it would seem, than the Sanhedrin of the Jews.  They had degenerated into a lying band of murderers (25:3).
