"I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death" In like manner, Jesus was declared to be innocent. Not only had Paul committed nothing worthy of death but the full reality was that Paul had done nothing worthy of imprisonment as well. What an awkward situation. Here is. man who has be forced to appeal to Caesar and the Roman governor who presided over the case in which such an appeal was made cannot even think of anything wrong that this man has done. "But all could see that Festus was in. bad predicament, in having held as. prisoner. man who was entitled to his liberty, until, now he had appealed to Caesar, there was no chance to get rid of him" (McGarvey pp. 249-250). Notice that this was. very prestigious and learned audience but for the most part these people were completely ignorant of spiritual truths. It reminds me of the extremely intelligent people on Jeopardy who look incredibly ignorant when they attempt the take on the Bible category.
