When Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many serious charges that they could not prove.
Paul's life before and after conversion was spotless, yet he faces many false accusations, and this is the lot of Christ's servants always. The wicked, driven by Satan's spirit, will slander the innocent; but a life of integrity answers for itself, and their vain charges dissolve before the brightness of honesty.
AI summary
See how restless malice is: Paul bears his imprisonment patiently, yet his enemies cannot bear even a three-day delay in pursuing him to death. They rush upon Festus the moment he arrives, trying to prejudge the cause before any fair trial.

Commenting on Acts 25:1-12
Paul's moral conduct, both before and after his conversion, was strict and blameless by every standard; yet his enemies heaped many grievous charges on him that they could not prove. His happiness lay in this: that through God's grace, not one accusation could stand.
