Context of Acts 25:6
4But Festus replied, “Paul is being held in Caesarea, and I myself am going there soon. 5So if this man has done anything wrong, let some of your leaders come down with me and accuse him there.” After spending no more than eight or ten days with them, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he sat on the judgment seat and ordered that Paul be brought in. 7When Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many serious charges that they could not prove. 8Then Paul made his defense: “I have committed no offense against the law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar.”

Griesbach admits this reading into the text: and of it Professor White says…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 6More than ten days - See the margin.
