Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
Cuando el gobernador le dio a Pablo la señal para hablar, Pablo dijo: 'Sé que has estado juzgando casos para este país por muchos años, así que en realidad estoy emocionado de defenderme delante de ti.'
Pablo expresó confianza al defenderse ante el gobernador Félix debido a su experiencia como juez.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Acts, Paul is on trial in Caesarea before Felix, the Roman governor of Judea, who had been in office for several years and was known for his experience in handling Jewish affairs. This event occurs around AD 57-59, during a period of Roman occupation and growing tensions between Jewish leaders and early Christians, as Paul defends himself against accusations from the Sanhedrin. Paul's opening remarks show his strategic use of respect and flattery to gain a fair hearing.
