Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
Then said Paul, I stand at Cesar's judgment seat - i:e., I am already before the proper tribunal. This seems to imply that he understood Festus to propose handing him over to the Sanhedrim for judgment (and see the note at Acts 25:11 ), with a mere promise of protection from himself. But from going to Jerusalem at all he was too well justified in shrinking, for there assassination had been quite recently planned against him.
To the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest, [kallion (G2566 )] - literally, 'knowest better;' better, than to press such a proposal; or, 'full well.'
