This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Festus saw that it is not nature which acts in Paul: he was not capable of seeing grace: wherefore he supposes that it was a Jewish kind of enthusiastic phrensy, of the same kind as was that among the Gentiles, according to their own fables. He does not ascribe to Paul habitual madness, but a particular act and feeling of madness then: comp. ch. Act 12:15.-γράμματα, learning) Festus accounts the apostle’s ardour as the effect of overmuch learning [Pedantry].
