1
Therefore
Festus,
having arrived in
the province,
after
three
days
went up
to
Jerusalem
from
Caesarea.
2
And the
chief priests
and the
chiefs
of the
Jews
made a presentation before
him
against
Paul,
and
they were begging
him,
3
asking
a favor
against
him, that
he would summon
him to
Jerusalem,
forming
an ambush
to kill
him on the
way.
4
So
indeed
Festus
answered that
Paul
is to be kept
in
Caesarea,
and he himself
is about
to set out
in
quickness.
5
He says, Therefore those
among
you
in
power,
hav
in
g gone down together,
if
there is
anyth
in
g
wrong
in
the
man,
let them accuse
him.
6
And
having spent
with
them not more than
eight
or
ten days,
having gone down
to Caesarea, on the
next day
having sat
on the judgment seat,
he commanded
Paul
to be brought.
7
And
he having arrived, the
Jews
having come down
from
Jerusalem
stood around
him,
bringing
many
and
weighty
charges,
which
they were not able
to prove.
8
Paul
made his defense
: Neither
against
the
law
of the
Jews,
nor
against
the temple,
nor
against
Caesar,
have I sinned
in
anything.
9
But
Festus,
wishing
to lay
a favor
on the Jews,
answering,
said
to Paul,
Are you willing,
having gone up
to
Jerusalem,
to be judged
before
me there concerning these things?
10
And
Paul
said, I am
standing
before
the
judgment seat
of Caesar,
where
it behooves me
to be judged.
I have done nothing wrong
to
the
Jews,
as you
also
know
very well.
11
Therefore
if
indeed
I do wrong
and
have done
anything
worthy
of death,
I do not refuse
to die.
But
if
there is
nothing
of which
they
can
accuse
me, no one
can
give me up
to them.
I appeal
to Caesar!
12
Then
Festus,
having conferred
with the Council,
answered,
You have appealed
to
Caesar
;
to
Caesar
you will go!
13
Now
some
days
having passed,
Agrippa
the
king
and
Bernice
came down
to Caesarea,
greeting
Festus.
14
And
as
they stayed
there
man
y
days,
Festus
laid before
the
king
the things
relating to Paul,
saying,
There is a certain
man
left by
Felix
as
a prisoner,
15
concern
in
g
whom, on my hav
in
g been
in
Jerusalem,
the chief priests and the
elders
of the
Jews
made a presentation,
ask
in
g
judgment
aga
in
st him,
16
to
whom
I answered
that it is not
the
cus
to
m
with Ro
man
s
to
give up
any
man
before
that
the
one
being accused
may have
it
to
face the
accusers,
and he may have
the
opportunity
of defense
concerning
the
accusation.
17
Therefore
of them
having come together
here,
having made no
delay,
the
next
day
having sat
on the
judgment seat,
I com
man
ded
the
man
to be brought,
18
concerning
whom
the accusers,
having stood up,
were bringing
no
charge
of
the
crimes
of which I
was expecting.
19
But
they had
certain
questions
against him
concerning
their
own
religion and
concerning
a
certain
Jesus
having been dead,
whom
Paul
was affirming
to be alive.
20
Now I,
being perplexed
concerning
this
inquiry,
was asking
if
he was willing
to go
to
Jerusalem
and there
to be judged
concerning
these things.
21
But
of Paul
having appealed
for
himself
to be kept
for
the
decision
of the Emperor,
I commanded
him
to be kept
until
that
I might send
him to Caesar.
22
Then
Agrippa
said
to Festus, I have been wanting
also
to hear
the
man
myself.
He says,
Tomorrow
you will hear
him.
23
So
on
the
next day
Agrippa
and
Bernice,
having come
with
great
pomp
and
having entered
into
the
audience hall
with
both
the
comm
and
ers
and
the
men
in
prominence
in
the
city,
and
Festus having comm
and
ed,
Paul
was brought in.
24
And
Festus
says, King
Agrippa
and
all
men
being present with
us,
you see
this one
concerning
whom
the
whole
multitude of the
Jews
pleaded
with me,
both
in Jerusalem and here,
crying out
of him
that
he ought
not
to live
any
longer.
25
But
I,
having understood
him
to have done
nothing
worthy
of death,
of this one
him
self now
having appealed to
the
Emperor,
I determined
to send
him
,
26
concerning
whom
I have
nothing
definite
to write
to
my
lord.
Therefore
I have
brought
him
before
you all, and
especially
before
you,
King
Agrippa,
so that
of the
examination
having taken place,
I might have
something
to write
.
27
For
it seems
absurd
to me,
sending
a prisoner,
not
also
to specify
the
charges
against
him.
