“And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.”
King James Version (KJV)
25:23 With the tribunes and principal men of the city - The chief officers, both military and civil.
Ac 25:24-26 Festus said. He introduces the cause by a short explanation: (1) Ye see this man; (2) the Jews declare that he ought not to live; (3) I have found nothing worthy of death; (4) he had appealed to Augustus; (5) I have nothing certain to write in the way of charges (6) perhaps thou, O Agrippa, canst help me out of this difficulty.
