Contextual Overview
24 And while Paul was pleading in this manner, Festus cried with a loud voice: Paul, you are overwrought. Much study has made you mad. 25 But Paul said to him, I am not mad, O most excellent Festus; but I speak the words of truth and soberness. 26 And King A-grip''pa is also familiar with these things, and this is why I am speaking openly before him: because I think not one of these words has been hidden from him; for they were not done in secret. 27 King A-grip''pa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe. 28 Then King A-grip''pa said to him, With little effort you almost persuade me to become a Christian. * 29 And Paul said, I pray God that not only you, but also all of those who hear me today, were as I am, except for these bonds. 30 Then the king arose, and the governor, and Ber-ni''ce and they that sat with them: 31 And when they had departed, they talked between themselves, saying, This man has done nothing worthy of death or of imprisonment. 32 Then Agrip''pa said to Festus, This man could have been released had he not appealed to Csar.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when they were gone aside,.... Into some apartment adjoining to the judgment hall:
they talked between themselves; that the common people might not hear their debates, and the result of them, and what were their sentiments concerning Paul and his case:
saying, this man doth nothing worthy of death, or of bonds; according to the Roman laws; for as yet there were no laws among the Romans against the Christians as such, or against their professing and preaching Christ.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This man doeth nothing worthy of death - This was the conclusion to which they had come after hearing all that the Jews had to allege against him. It was the result of the whole investigation; and we have, therefore, the concurring testimony of Claudius Lysias Acts 23:29, of Felix Acts 24:0, of Festus Acts 25:26-27, and of Agrippa, as to the innocence of Paul. More honorable and satisfactory testimony of his innocence he could not have desired. It was a full acquittal from all the charges against him; and though he was to be sent to Rome, yet he went there with every favorable prospect of being acquitted there also.
