Paul had in fact appealed to Caesar. The statement in the question actually includes the word 'not'.
32Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
What Agrippa meant was that Paul was actually innocent of any crime. However, since he had appealed to Caesar, he thus had to go to Caesar to have his case heard and could not be released until this process was gone through. It was Paul's appeal which thus caused him to remain a prisoner, together of course with the Roman custom regarding appeals to Caesar.
Agrippa was suggesting that if the man had exercised his right to appeal to Caesar, he might have been acquitted or released from custody. By choosing not to appeal, the man effectively waived his chance for a fair hearing before a higher authority.
The pharisees wanted to trap Jesus with a coin. Now in those days they had two types of currency, one was Roman with Ceasers head on it , it was used to pay the Romans taxes, while the other was for daily use.
A brief wise saying is called a proverb. It is a short, well-known expression that imparts wisdom or advice in a memorable way.
It appears that the book of Acts ends with Paul in Rome, in a rented house. Acts 28 brings him to Rome, and ends, "And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him."
Jesus ended up the request by saying not as I will but as You, god will have it done.
It depends on the context and the intention behind saying it. Some religious beliefs consider using the phrase "oh my god" in vain as disrespectful or blasphemous. It's important to be mindful of how our words may impact others' beliefs or values.
Brutus is saying that he doesn't know what time it is.
In the history by Plutarch, a young Caesar is said to have wept when reading the annals of Alexander the great. Caesar explains this by saying that Alexander had conquered many nations by the time he was Caesar's age, so that Caesar's own accomplishments paled in comparison.
Caesar Augustus
Stoicism is Brutus's philosophy. That's basically saying that emotion shows how weak you are
Caesar opens the senatorial session in Act III Scene I by saying, "Are we all ready? What is now amiss that Caesar and his Senate must redress?" The significance of this bit of dialogue is that Caesar is referring to the senate as belonging to him. This is an indirect way of saying that he believes himself to be above the Republic of Rome and, therefore, more powerful than the body of senators who assist him. This very attitude is what the conspirators fear most about Caesar. They believe his ambition will eventually cause him to become a tyrant, and that particular phrase almost foreshadows what may come if Caesar were to remain in power.
Julius Caesar was murdered in the middle of march. A fortune teller had predicted this, saying to Caesar "Beware the Ides of March". "Ides" was a Roman term for the middle of the month.
Yes, because he was stabbed in the back by his friend Marcus Brutus.
Saying Caesar was like a Colossus is saying that he is/was one of the giants of history. The word colossus means giant or extremely large--super sized. The term certainly was appropriate for Caesar due to all he accomplished. Cassius's line "Why man, he doth bestride the narrow world like a Colossus" is a reference to the wonder of the ancient world, the Colossus of Rhodes, which was popularly imagined as a statue of a man so huge that one foot was on either side of the harbour, and boats had to pass between his legs to enter.
hands---- they represent workersex. all hands on deckfamous example by Julius Caesar--- friends, countrymen, workers, lend me your earsears---- Caesar is saying listen to me give me your attention...
The message that Mark Antony sends to Octavius in Act III, Scene 2 of Julius Caesar is saying that he has dealt with the death of Caesar properly and held a proper funeral for Caesar. Octavius, being Caesars' son would want to be informed of his fathers death.
He is skeptical. When the day dawns and he is still ok he taunts the soothsayer by saying "The Ides of March are come"
The Soothsayer had already cautioned Caesar about the ides of March but Caesar again paid no attention to it saying that the soothsayer was a lunatic and was hindering his way. Then on that very day when Caesar said very confidently that the Ides of March are come, he replied that it wasn't yet passed. This was a clear warning to Caesar about being prepared for any worse circumstance in future. But, as pride hath a fall, the same way Caesar went on with the days activities too confident about his security thinking that no one could ever harm him. Artemidorus had written a letter of precaution for Caesar in which he had mentioned the names of all the conspirators but failed to deliver it to Caesar because he said to him to read his petition first as it concerned Caesar personally. So, Caesar refused it saying that which considers him first shall be dealt with at the last. These warnings were over looked by Caesar which paved the way for his death.
