Exegesis
The sentence opens with the nominative subject ho Phestos {ὁ Φῆστος | ho Phês-tos} “Festus,” followed by the connective de {δὲ | de} “but,” which links this action to the preceding narrative while slightly contrasting Festus’s stance.
In context — Acts 25:9
But Festus , wanting to grant a favor to the Jews, answered Paul and said, “Do you wish to go up to Jerusalem and be judged there concerning these matters before me?”
