Neville Goddard on Acts 25:24-26 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Acts 25 in context

Scripture Focus

24And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

25But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.

26Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.

Acts 25:24-26

Biblical Context

Festus proclaims Paul not deserving of death and intends to send him to Caesar after an examination; there is no definite charge to write to the lord, so Paul is brought before Agrippa for assessment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul represents the living truth within you, not a condemned man. Festus and Agrippa are the outward voices of judgment; Augustus is the higher will of life, the Law you submit to when you awaken. The crowd crying for death mirrors a weary mind clinging to appearances; yet the truth finds no fault in you. When Festus says Paul has committed nothing worthy of death, that is the inner verdict your I AM recognizes about your own nature: innocence cannot be executed. The intention to send him to Augustus shows your decision to carry the truth to the higher fact of your being, beyond surface judgment. The remark, 'no certain thing to write unto my lord,' means the outer record cannot define your reality; you write your own record by the act of realization. Practice this by assuming the state of innocent being and by imagining that your higher self approves you without reservation, letting mercy flow from that conviction.
