This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Brought (epheron). Imperfect active of pherō, referring to their repeated charges.
Of such evil things as I supposed (hōn egō hupenooun ponērōn). Incorporation of the antecedent ponērōn into the relative clause and change of the case of the relative from the accusative ha object of hupenooun to the genitive like ponērōn (Robertson, Grammar, p. 719). Note the imperfect active hupenooun of huponoeō to emphasize Festus’s state of mind about Paul before the trial. This old verb only three times in the N.T. (here, Act 13:25 which see; Act 27:27).
