the province: By the province, Judea is meant; for after the death of Herod Agrippa, Claudius thought it imprudent to trust the government in the hands of his son Agrippa, who was then but seventeen years of age; and therefore, Cuspius Fadus was sent to be procurator. And when afterwards Claudius had given to Agrippa the tetrarchy of Philip, he nevertheless kept the province of Judea in his own hands, and governed it by procurators sent from Rome.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now when Festus was come into the province,.... Of Judea, which was a Roman province, over which he was made governor by Nero, the Roman emperor, in the room of Felix; he now being landed in some part of the province, namely, at Caesarea, and so might be said to have entered upon the government of it, as the phrase will bear to be rendered;
after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem; he very likely came by sea from Italy to Judea, and landed at Caesarea; for though Joppa was the nearest port to Jerusalem, yet Caesarea was the safest, and most commodious port, being made so by Herod;
:-, and besides, it seems to have been very much the residence of the kings and governors of Judea, Acts 12:19 here Festus stayed three days after his landing, to rest himself after the fatigue of the voyage, and then went up to Jerusalem, the metropolis of the province of Judea.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Now when Festus was come - See the notes on Acts 24:27.
Into the province - The province of Judea; for Judea at that time was a Roman province.
After three days - Having remained three days at Caesarea.
He ascended - This was the usual language in describing a journey to Jerusalem. Thus, the English people speak of going up to London, because it is the capital. See the notes on Acts 15:1.
To Jerusalem - The governors of Judea at this time usually resided at Caesarea; but as Jerusalem had been the former capital; as it was still the seat of the religious solemni ties; as the Sanhedrin held its meetings there; and as the great, and rich, and learned men, and the priests resided there, it is evident that a full knowledge of the state of the province could be obtained only there. Festus, therefore, having entered upon the duties of his office, early went to Jerusalem to make himself acquainted with the affairs of the nation.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXV.
Porcius Festus being appointed governor of Judea, instead of
Felix, the Jews beseech him to have Paul brought up to
Jerusalem, that he might be tried there; they lying in wait to
kill him on the way, 1-3.
Festus refuses, and desires those who could prove any thing
against him, to go with him to Caesarea, 4, 5.
Festus, having tarried at Jerusalem about ten days, returns to
Caesarea, and the next day Paul is brought to his trial, and
the Jews of Jerusalem bring many groundless charges against
him, against which he defends himself, 6-8.
In order to please the Jews, Festus asks Paul if he be willing
to go up to Jerusalem, and be tried there, 9.
Paul refuses, and appeals to Caesar, and Festus admits the
appeal, 10-13.
King Agrippa, and Bernice his wife, come to Cesarea to visit
Festus, and are informed by him of the accusations against
Paul, his late trial, and his appeal from them to Caesar,
14-21.
Agrippa desires to hear Paul; and a hearing is appointed for
the following day, 22.
Agrippa, Bernice, the principal officers and chief men of the
city being assembled, Paul is brought forth, 23.
Festus opens the business with generally stating the accusations
against Paul, his trial on these accusations, the groundless
and frivolous nature of the charges, his own conviction of his
innocence, and his desire that the matter might be heard by the
king himself, that he might have something specifically to
write to the emperor, to whom he was about to send Paul,
agreeably to his appeal, 24-27.
NOTES ON CHAP. XXV.
Verse Acts 25:1. Now when Festus was come into the province — By the province is meant Judea; for, after the death of Herod Agrippa, Claudius thought it imprudent to trust the government in the hands of his son Agrippa, who was then but seventeen years of age; therefore Cuspius Fadus was sent to be procurator. And when afterwards Claudius had given to Agrippa the tetrarchate of Philip, that of Batanea and Abila, he nevertheless kept the province of Judea more immediately in his own hands, and governed it by procurators sent from Rome. Joseph. Ant. lib. xx. cap. 7, sec. 1. Felix being removed, Porcius Festus is sent in his place; and having come to Caesarea, where the Roman governor generally had his residence, after he had tarried three days, he went up to Jerusalem, to acquaint himself with the nature and complexion of the ecclesiastical government of the Jews; no doubt, for the purpose of the better administration of justice among them.
