Acts 26:30 (KJV)

What does Acts 26:30 mean?

Acts 26:30 describes how, after Paul finished speaking, King Agrippa, the governor Festus, Bernice, and the others present all stood up. This signals the formal end of Paul’s defense before these important officials.

Paul had just finished making his case about his faith and actions. The setting is a formal hearing, with Paul addressing high-ranking Roman and Jewish leaders. Their standing up shows that the discussion is over and that they are moving on to consider what they have heard, marking a transition from speech to decision-making.
