Note 1 at Acts 25:1: The province that is being referred to is the province of Judaea. At the time of his father's death (see note 3 at Lk. 3:1, p. 70; note 3 at Acts 12:23, p. 646), Herod Agrippa II was in Rome and only 17 years old. Therefore, Claudius Caesar did not think it wise to trust the government to Agrippa II so he established governors or procurators to rule over provinces within the realm of Herod Agrippa I. This province of Judaea which is referred to here was under the governorship of Porcius Festus (see note 9 at Acts 24:27, p. ???).
