This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Act 26:3. Γνώστην ὄντα σε) Two accusatives, an Attic idiom: i.e. especially as thou art expert or acquainted with. See Heupel. de Dialectis, Can. 98, Raphel. from Xen. and Arrian. Γνώστης, is one who seeks and has acquaintance with. Festus was not one of this character: ch. Act 25:20.-ἐθῶν, customs) in matters of practice.-ζητημάτων, questions) in matters of theory. Festus had used this term in the absence of Paul: ch. Act 25:19. Accordingly Paul, by the Divine guidance, repeats and explains it.
