Paragraph 25:13–16

25:13a

King Agrippa: This is the son of King Herod (Agrippa) mentioned in Acts 12.

Bernice: This is the daughter of King Herod Agrippa mentioned in Acts 12. At this time she lived with her brother, King Agrippa II. In some languages, people will not know who Bernice was. If so, you may want to:

• Explain it in your translation. For example:

⌊his sister⌋ Bernice

• Include a footnote to explain. An example footnote is:

Bernice was the ⌊younger⌋ sister of King Agrippa.

See how you spelled this name in Acts 12.

25:13b

to pay their respects to Festus: Here the phrase pay…respects refers to officially greeting a leader and beginning a relationship with him. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

to ⌊officially⌋ welcome Festus
-or-
a courtesy visit to Festus (Revised English Bible)
