Nothing to Write

Who weren't present in the "auditorium" (Acts 25:23)?
The high priest and his "Jews" (Acts 25:24)

Why weren't Paul's accusers present?
The trial was in the past, as was Festus' decision to send Paul to Rome.

Then why had they gathered?
First, like Claudius Lysias, the commander who had sent Paul from Jerusalem to Caesarea, Festus didn't understand the nebulous charges against Paul and hoped "that after the examination has taken place I may have something to write. For it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to specify the charges against him" (Acts 25:26-27). Second, King Agrippa wished to "also ... hear the man" (Acts 25:22). Third and most importantly, God wanted to bless those gathered by having the Gospel preached to them.

Who was the poorest person in the room?
Most likely Paul, given the attendance of "the commanders and the prominent men of the city" (Acts 25:23), as well as governor Festus and his guests of honor, King Agrippa II and Bernice.

How about in the eyes of God?
"Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!” And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” Then Peter began to say to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You.” So Jesus answered and said, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the Gospel’s, who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time - houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions - and in the age to come, everlasting life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first." (Mark 10:23-31)

Are you closer to "first" or "last" in the eyes of the world?
