Commentary on Acts 25:2
Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul—the Greek enephanisan (ἐνεφάνισαν) means 'made clear charges,' using legal terminology. The phrase and besought him (parekaloun, παρεκάλουν) indicates persistent, urgent entreaty. After two years (Acts 24:27), the Jewish leadership immediately revived Paul's case with the new governor, revealing their undiminished hostility. Their 'informing' was accusatory intelligence meant to prejudice Festus before he heard evidence—a manipulation of justice through political pressure.
