# Acts 24 General Notes
#### Structure and formatting
Paul told the governor that he had not done what the Jews were accusing him of doing and that the governor should not punish him for what he did do.
# Acts 25 General Notes
#### Special concepts in this chapter
##### Respect
##### Favor
Both the Jewish leaders ([Acts 24:2-4](./02.md)) and Paul ([Acts 24:10](../../act/24/10.md)) began their speeches with words that show respect to the governor.
This word is used in two different ways in this chapter. When the Jewish leaders asked Festus for a favor, they were asking him to do something special for them on that day. They wanted him to do for them something that he would not usually do. When Festus "wanted to gain the favor of the Jews," he wanted them to like him and be willing to obey him in the months and years to come. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/favor]])
#### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
##### Roman citizenship
##### Governmental leaders
The words "governor," "commander," and "centurion" may be difficult to translate into some languages. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-unknown]])
The Romans thought that they needed to treat only Roman citizens justly. They could do as they desired with people who were not Roman citizens, but they had to obey the law with other Romans. Some people were born Roman citizens, and others gave money to the Roman government so they could become Roman citizens. Roman officials could have been punished for treating a Roman citizen the same way they would treat a non-citizen.
