Note 1 at Ac 25:1: The province that is being referred to is the province of Judea. At the time of his father's death (see note 3 at Lu 3:1 and note 3 at Ac 12:22), Herod Agrippa II was in Rome and only seventeen 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 Judea, referred to here, was under the governorship of Porcius Festus (see note 9 at Ac 24:27).
