Context — Paul's Trial Before Agrippagenerated
Acts 26:32 captures a moment after Paul's defense where Agrippa, the king, speaks to Festus, the governor, regarding Paul's situation. Agrippa points out that Paul could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar. This highlights the complexities of Roman law and the implications of appealing to a higher authority, which is a recurring theme in Paul's journey as seen throughout the book of Acts.

The Key Word — ἀπολύω, apoluōgenerated
This is a perfect passive infinitive of ἀπολύω, meaning 'to release' or 'to set free.' The perfect tense indicates a completed action with ongoing effects, in this case, referring to the potential freedom Paul could have experienced.
The passive voice indicates that the action of being released is something that could have happened to Paul, rather than something he actively did. Thus, Agrippa's statement underscores the legal and procedural nature of Paul's appeal.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as: 'And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar.”' This wording is consistent across several translations, including the KJV and ASV, which use 'might have been set at liberty.'
However, variations arise with the phrasing of 'to Caesar.' The BSB, WEB, and others use 'to Caesar,' while the BBE opts for 'before Caesar.'
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the sentence is ἔφη, he said, which governs the entire statement. It is followed by a noun phrase indicating the subject, Agrippa, and a clause that explains what he said.
The structure includes a conditional clause introduced by 'if,' which outlines the condition under which Paul could have been released, emphasizing the legal implications of his appeal.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In Acts 26:32, the Greek word ἔφη (phēmi) is used, which is found in the Septuagint in verse 28 and is chosen to render the Hebrew word נְאֻם (ne'um), meaning 'utterance.' This choice emphasizes the act of speaking or declaring something significant.
The term ἐδύνατο (dunamai), meaning 'was able,' corresponds to the Hebrew יָכֹל (yakhol), which conveys the idea of power or ability. This highlights the potential for release that Agrippa refers to.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

The authorities could not now free themselves from responsibility for the safe custody of the prisoner, and, by releasing him, expose his life to the conspiracies of the Jews; and thus the Apostle at last gained that safe journey to the imperial city which had for many years been the great desire of his heart.

Bp. Pearce conjectures, with great probability, that Agrippa, on his return to Rome, represented Paul's case so favourably to the emperor, or his ministers of state, that he was soon set at liberty there, as may be concluded from Acts 28:30, that he dwelt two whole years in his own hired place; and to the same cause it seems to have been owing that…

Acts 25:25). So that St Paul was acquitted on all hands, and Festus may rightly be deemed guilty because he had driven an innocent man to appeal to a higher court, from fear that he would be delivered into the power of his enemies. But God was using human means for bringing the Apostle to Rome, and so fulfilling his servant’s great desire, and in such wise that he should be heard before kings in behalf of the Gospel.if he had not appealed] The appeal put an end to all powers of a lower court either to condemn or absolve.

The word Ἀγρίππας refers to Agrippa, specifically Agrippa II, a figure mentioned in the New Testament, particularly in Acts 25 and 26. It is derived from roots meaning 'wild-horse tamer.' The entries consistently identify this as a proper name without significant disagreement among lexicons.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

Φῆστος refers to Festus, a Roman procurator of Judea, specifically mentioned in the New Testament in Acts 24:27 and 25:1-32. The word is of Latin origin and is used as a proper name. Several lexicons confirm its usage in the context of Roman governance during the time of the early church.
Φῆστος, -ov, 5, (Porcius) Festus, a procurator of Judea, the successor of Felix [c. A.D. 60] (see Φῆλιξ [and reff., esp. Schiirer p. 308 sq.]): Acts xxiv. 27; xxv. 1, 4, 9, 12-14, 22-24; xxvi. 24 sq. 32. (Joseph. antt. 20, 8, 9 and 9, 1; b.j. 2, 14, 1.)

φημί (phēmi) means to declare or say, often used in quoting others. It can express affirmation or assertion, and is frequently found in the New Testament, particularly in dialogue. The verb can appear in various constructions, such as with an accusative or infinitive. Notably, there is a variant reading in 2 Corinthians 10:10, where some manuscripts use φασίν instead of φησί.

The Greek word ἀπολύω (i.e., *apoluo*) is built from the prefix ἀπο- and the root λύω. It covers a range of meanings including to release, dismiss, and divorce, as well as to forgive or let go. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as forgiving debts (Matthew 18:27) and dismissing a wife (Matthew 1:19).

δύναμαι, transliterated as dunamai, means 'to be able' or 'to have power.' It can refer to personal ability, permission, or opportunity. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, such as in Matthew 6:24 and Mark 2:7. The lexicons indicate that it can be used with an infinitive or an accusative, but there is some variation in the forms and usages noted in different sources.

a'-b'-l: The Greek dunamai, "to have power," may refer either to inherent strength, or to the absence of in external obstacles, or to what may be allowable or permitted. The Greek ischuo, as in Lu 13:24; Joh 21:6, refers always to the first of the above meanings. The use of the word as an adjective the King James Version of 2Co 3:6, is misleading, and has been properly changed in the Revised Version (British and American) into "sufficient as ministers," i.e. "hath fitted us to be ministers."

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word ἄνθρωπος (i.e., *anthropos*) means 'man' or 'human being,' encompassing both males and females. It is derived from roots meaning 'man-faced' and is used in various contexts throughout the New Testament, such as to distinguish humans from God and animals. The term can imply human frailty and is often used in phrases that reflect human nature or condition.

It is interesting to notice its philosophical abstract ἀνθρωπότης vouched for as fairly popular Greek by Vettius Valens (p. 346%, in antith. to ἀθανασία), passing into Christian theology (see LS and Sophocles Zex.), and current in MGr. The NT has no trace of the curious misuse by which the principal difference between a. and ἀνήρ is ignored: Tob 65 ἀνθρώπου ἢ γυναικός.

Man
(1.) Heb. ‘Adam, used as the proper name of the first man. The name is derived from a word meaning “to be red,” and thus the first man was called Adam because he was formed from the red earth. It is also the generic name of the human race (Gen. 1:26, 27; 5:2; 8:21; Deut. 8:3). Its equivalents are the Latin homo and the Greek anthropos (Matt. 5:13, 16). It denotes also man in opposition to woman (Gen. 3:12; Matt. 19:10).
(2.) Heb. ‘ish, like the Latin vir and Greek aner, denotes properly a man in opposition to a woman (1 Sam. 17:33;
Four Hebrew terms are rendered "man" in the Authorized Version: Adam, the name of the man created in the image of God. It appears to be derived from adam , "he or it was red or ruddy," like Edom. This was the generic term for the human race. Ish , "man," as distinguished from woman, husband. Geber , "a man," from gabar , "to be strong," generally with reference to his strength. Methim , "men," always masculine. Perhaps it may be derived from the root muth , "he died."

The Greek word οὗτος (i.e., *houtos*) is a demonstrative pronoun meaning 'this' or 'this one.' It is used to refer to something nearby or recently mentioned, often with a connotation of contempt in certain contexts. In the New Testament, it appears in various forms, such as in Matthew 3:17 and John 1:15, and can also serve to emphasize or clarify a subject.

μή (mē) is a Greek negative particle used to express subjective negation, often in conditional or hypothetical contexts. It contrasts with οὐ (ou), which indicates absolute denial. μή can function as an adverb meaning 'not' or as a conjunction meaning 'lest.' It appears in various grammatical constructions, including prohibitions and deliberative questions, and is referenced in verses like Matthew 5:29 and John 3:18.
μή,
subjective negative particle,
used where the negation depends on a condition or hypothesis, expressed or understood, as distinct from οὐ, which denies absolutely. μή is used where one thinks a thing is not, as distinct from an absolute negation. As a general rule, οὐ negatives the indic., μή the other moods, incl, ptcp. [In LXX for אֵין, אַיִן, אַל.]
As a neg. adv., not;
with ref. to thought or opinion: Jo 3:18, Tit 1:11, II Pe 1:9.
μή, Sept. for Ox, |X, PN, ἃ particle of negation, which differs from οὐ (which is always an adverb) in that ov denies the thing itself (orto speak technically, denies simply, absolutely, categorically, directly, objectively). but μή denies the thought of the thing, or the thing according to the judgment, opinion, will, purpose, preference, of some one (hence, as we say technically, indirectly, hypothetically, subjectively). This distinction holds also of the compounds οὐδείς, μηδείς, οὐκέτι, μηκέτι, ete.

The Greek word ἐπικαλέω (transliterated as *epikaleō*) means to call upon, invoke, or name. It is derived from a combination of prefixes meaning 'upon' and 'to call.' In the New Testament, it is used in various contexts, such as calling on God for help or invoking a name, as seen in Acts 2:21 and Romans 10:13. The lexicons note its use in both active and middle voices, with some variations in emphasis on its meanings.

Counted over the 93 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.

The Greek word Καῖσαρ (Kaisar) means 'Caesar' and is a title for the Roman emperor. It appears in several New Testament passages, including Matthew 22:17 and Luke 2:1. The entries indicate that it originally referred to Julius Caesar but later became a general title for Roman emperors. Moulton & Milligan note its use in various contexts, including references to officials and freedmen associated with the emperor.
Καῖσαρ, -apos [Bttm. 16 (15) ], 6, Cesar (prop. the surname of JuliusCaesar, which being adopted by Octavianus Augustus and his successors afterwards became an appellative, and was appropriated by the Roman emperors as a part of their title [ef. Dict. of Biogr. and Mythol. s. v. Caesar]): Mt. xxii. 17, 21; Mk. xii. 14, 16 sq.; Lk. ii. 1; iii. 1; xx. 22; xxiii. 2; Jn. xix.12; Acts xi. 28 [Rec.]; xvii. 7, etc.; Phil. iv. 22.
Καῖσαρ. Lightfoot (2:13 p. 169 ff.) has shown that by the phrase οἱ ἐκ τῆς Καίσαρος οἰκίας in Phil 42% we are probably to | | understand slaves and freedmen attached to the palace, and has appealed to inscriptional evidence to prove that the designation embraced a large number of persons both in Rome and elsewhere (e.g. Ephesus), filling every description of more or less domestic office: see further SH p. 418 ff. In BGU I. 1563 (A.p. 201) χρηματίσατε Σατουρνείνῳ Καισάρων οἰκονόμῳ, Wilcken (Oséy. i. p. 499 n.4) holds that Καισάρων stands for Καισάρων δούλῳ : similarly in P Lond 256 recto (A.D. 11-15) (=I. p. 96) Φαῦστος Πρίσκου Καίσαρος -- &. II. Καίσαρος δούλου (0. p. 662) ; cf. the simple gen.

se'-zar (Kaisar): Originally the surname of the Julian gens (thus, Caius Julius Caesar); afterward a name borne by the Roman emperors. In the New Testament the name is definitely applied to Augustus (Lu 2:1, "Caesar Augustus"), to whom it belonged by adoption, and to Tiberius (Lu 3:1, "Tiberius Caesar"; compare Mt 22:17,21). The "Caesar" to whom Paul appealed (Ac 25:11,12,21) was Nero. The form is perpetuated in "Kaiser" and "Czar."
Caesar
The title assumed by the Roman emperors after Julius Caesar. In the New Testament this title is given to various emperors as sovereigns of Judaea without their accompanying distinctive proper names (John 19:15; Acts 17:7). The Jews paid tribute to Caesar (Matt. 22:17), and all Roman citizens had the right of appeal to him (Acts 25:11). The Caesars referred to in the New Testament are Augustus (Luke 2:1), Tiberius (3:1; 20:22), Claudius (Acts 11:28), and Nero (Acts 25:8;
always in the New Testament the Roman emperor, the sovereign of Judea. (John 19:12,15; Acts 17:7)
Originally the surname of the Julian family at Rome. After being dignified in the person of Julias Caesar, it became the usual appellation of those of his family who ascended the throne. The last of these was Nero, but the name was still retained by his successors as a sort of title belonging to the imperial dignity. The emperors alluded to by this title in the New Testament, are Augustus, Lu 2:1; Tiberius, Lu 3:1 20:22; Claudius, Ac 11:28; and Nero, Ac 25:8 Php 4:22. Caligula, who succeeded Tiberius, is not mentioned.
